try www.opengl.org
if your using visual c++ 6.0, the libs are already there for you, opengl32.lib and glu32.lib. Also the headers are at gl/gl.h
gl/glu.h if your using VC++. If opengl.0rg doesnt have the win32 versions try microsoft.com

I also suggest you download GLUT for windows. It''s the easisest way to get to OpenGL programming without having to worry about windows stuff. You should find a link in www.opengl.org
Hi, I''ve used OpenGL and DirectX and, like many others,
found OpenGL to be a FAR more superior API. About
the SDK, it can be easily found on the net via a search
engine. Note: there are many implementation of OpenGL, and
if you are using win95/98/nt/2000, the compiler you are
using will most probably come with the SDK. If you do
download it, look for version 1.2 Also, if you use Borland
compilers, you may need to use implib to create the library
files out of the DLL files. E.g.:
implib opengl32.lib c:\winnt\system32\opengl32.dll
If you recieve an error message, use dll2def.exe (located
somewere on the web. I you cant find it, e-mail me at
ferrit@pimp.co.uk and I''ll send you it.)
Hope this helps

You might also want to copy your graphics card''s OpenGL ICD into your executable''s directory. If you don''t you might not get acceleration from your video card. At least I had to do this with my V3 3000, which really doesn''t ship with an ICD...
I am new to OpenGL and C++ for that matter but want to learn so that I can learn to develop games for the BeOS. Any links or suggestions would be appreciated.

OpenGL is by Silicon Graphics. You can find it on their site
with a bit of searching. I think it''s only a couple of megs.
