Apologies for my n00bishness once again... I just fixed my old PC to be dualboot Win2K and FC3. I'm not really at the right stage yet, but planning ahead I was wondering about writing programs that'll run on both platforms in C++. What changes need to be made in OpenGL/SDL written to run on Linux to make it run on Windows (and vice versa)?. Because I've heard that OpenGL uses a lot on Win32. I know that basic C++ console programs will work on both as long as you don't try to include Windows header files on Linux.

OpenGL itself isn't any different - it's more dependent on the drivers.

The only things that are significantly different are the context setup stuff - different modes may be available also depending on system settings.

Just write your startup code reasonably defensively and you should get away with most things.

Oh, and using glx / wgl functions directly is of course going to render your code nonportable to the other (although they are mostly approximately equivalent) - so stay away if you can.
