Does Open AL require an OS abstraction layer like glut or glfw? Plus for sound api what would you recommend to go with OpenGL in the open source realm? (something preferably free)

Is GLUT also available for linux?

I want to learn how I'd do that without using "glut", that my main issue. I thought I'd post this to get some guidance over how i could attempt to do it

How do I execute the following code without using glut?

I've got the "glew-1.7.0" header files, libs... I don't loaded and I want the code below to compile so how do I do it?

thanks, now if only I can an alternate reference for it.

I've heard that texturing a quad is faster than drawing pixels on the screen directly. Anyhow, I've come to believe this yet I can't recall where its officially stated by Open GL.

I need this info...

You are amazing man

Zbuffer can you recommended a valid academic reference for why open GL uses unsigned chars? (this is if you know any official Open GL papers)

What books did you use? and also do you know how to embed other people's stuff into your engine (e.g. Nvidia Physx..., or other lighting systems).

This is my next challenge for the summer

Why is GLboolean an unsigned char?

I thought booleans were supposed to be faster, as logically they take less memory. Anyway I've talked to a friend and he said the issue of them on X86 processors...

I wanted to learn how to do this using matrix I defined myself, I was told thats the way I would have to do it when working on the xbox 360/ps3 next year at uni.

How do I scale an object before positioning it?

Oh is it.

All I just wanted to do was to scale my matrix then reposition it (I thought I needed two matrices for it).But, how would I go about doing this?

so basically, its just loading the matrix before multiplying. By the way would it be possible to load it when there is nothing being draw.

Or would it be a case of drawing then...

Why does Open GL draw my object on the origin the first time round when I place my object?
Additional info:
