Hey everyone, i just found this site, and it looks pretty interesting. I reciently started working with openGL and GLUT, i'm reading the Red Book. I just have one question, GLUT seems to be for the C language, is there any api like GLUT thats built upon a C++ language? Thanks, Gavin

I'd say forget Glut and go with the straight OpenGL on NEHE

yup sdl is pretty much the adopted standard for simplicity when it comes to gl. setup your screen in a single function - can't say no to that. Although some people do have problems setting it up with certain compilers (mainly ms ones).
I use mingw & gcc, & aslong as you link to libraries "mingw32,sdlmain,sdl" in that order you shouldn't have any probs.
But yeah, grab it & be happy

I tried to read the openGL tutorials on NEHE but they are using some glaux.h file also, and i cant seem to find this anywhere on the net.

I just downloaded SDL i just gotta figure out how to make it work with Dev C++

You need to get the SDL DevPak
