Open GL + Graphics

[cdd]

Hi,

I would like to start graphics programming in c++ but i have no clue how/where to install graphics libraries for graphic utilities such as opengl. Could some one please explain what opengl is and how/where i can install graphics libraries?

thanks

it depends on your os and ide

Usually it's just a matter of getting the header and library files and telling your compiler to use them (and where to find them).

Install the mesa library development packages. Eclipse should find them. You should be able to follow most of the OpenGL tutorials here: http://xoax.net/comp/cpp/opengl/
