I have ran into a problem with my OpenGL driven application. One thing about it is that it must be multi-platform. That is a problem because most windowing methods are OS-Specific. I was wondering if I need a lib to create a simple window context? I would rather keep my dll count minimal and licensing to a low.

Thanks,
SFloyd.

SDL, freeGLUT or GLFW

If you say "pls", because it is shorter than "please", I will say "no", because it is shorter than "yes"

SFML is also an option, if you prefer a C++ style (and a zlib/png license which is about as liberal as it gets).
