I'm reading a few tutorials on OpenGL... and all the program examples have "#include <GL/glul.h>" and i cant find that header file... i have done a few searches on google and cant find anything.... anyone know where i can find it?

What compiler are you using?
Compilers like LCC and MinGW have the GL directory included in their respective base include directory, so you might find that you have the OpenGL headers.

Dev-C++
I had a look in the include directory, there is the GL directory there, but the only files in there is "gl.h" "glext.h" & "glu.h"

Those are the OpenGL headers. Have fun.
you have to link to them in your project settings. And if you are doing the NeHe tutorials you need glut. The easiest way to download this is to use the update thing in dev-c
Good luck
And if you're not using NeHe's tutorials, consider doing so.nehe.gamedev.net

GLU isn't entirely necessary (at least in the beginning) but it provides a lot of functions that make doing things with the stadard gl.h library easier, like fov, orthographic perspective and other quick camera settings. There are a lot more, though.
Nehe is great but I think they should have gone with a windowing framework like glut or GLFW. It's too cluttered around windows. But I ususally have my OpenGL independent stuff in a class no matter which windowing library I use, I can just create classes of my scene. It took me long enough to learn that.

Well I was actually going to do a different tutorial but after having a look over the nehe tutorials I think I am going to do them... Cheers
Actually, most (if not all) of the tutorials are available in multiple formats, including sdl and glut.Originally Posted by indigo0086
