I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find a valid download for the .h, .lib, and .dll files I need to get started.
There is ample info on the net about how to use them, but every link I find to the actual files is dead.
Will someone please point me in the right direction?
You’ll need to give more info… most compilers already come with the OpenGL and Glu libraries. Glut has to be downloaded separately with some (not sure about all) compilers. VC++ and Borland use different formatted libraries, so you have to make sure to get the right ones if you don’t have them already. (VC++ and the newest Borland compilers SHOULD already have the opengl32.lib and glu32.lib files.)

Sure.
Go to www.linux-mandrake.com , download and install Mandrake Linux, which will install every tool and library you could possibly ever want or use, including OpenGL. Start coding.

Yeah, I’ve got mandrake on my system at home, and have had hdwre issues with it since I loaded it… not anything un- solvable, but hey, I’m just now learning Unix at work, and haven’t strayed into penguin country yet…
Ok here’s the deal. I’m using a pretty ancient version of borland (4.5). I also have a copy of C++ buider (3 or something) but I don’t like it since it’s basically visual basic with c code. (If I want vb, i’ll use it…)
so i’m looking for a windows version of these files:
gl.h
glut.h
glu.h
Opengl32.lib
glut32.lib
glu32.lib
glut32.dll
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
gl.h and glu.h :

Some of the others do you have do do yourself. Files and instructions: http://www.gnt.net/~heiman/
