How do I set up an OpenGL programming environment?

graphics programming opengl

I want to setup openGL programming environment on ubuntu. What packages or tools I should install and what is the best way of getting into openGL as a newbie.


As far as I know OpenGL is a graphics library. The IDE choice depends on the language you want use OpenGL in.

Anjuta is a perfect IDE for C and C++

sudo apt-get install anjuta

then you have to download OpenGL library:

sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libglew1.5 libglew1.5-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev

after that you should include libraries (in folder gl/*) into your code
