Ok, I know I am being a bit stupid here, but nothing I have read so far from the Internet (and I have read a lot!) have helped me to actually get started programming in OpenGL! Can someone please tell me the steps to take (i.e. what to install, etc.) to allow me to start writing and compiling OpenGL programs?
No, I literally have no idea what I need. Sorry to be dumb, but I have been severly confused by all installation instructions, etc. I have read on the Internet!!!
The truth is… if you have rescent drivers for your graphics card you already have hardware OpenGL. You only need C/C++ compiler (MinGW, MSVC, Borland Builder,…)
I can’t install my OpenGL on my XP, it says its a win 95/98 version, but i’ve been able to install it before what should I do?
I dont have an Internet connection at home so I cant go to the web and fix it.

I’ve been trying to get OpenGL working as well. I have been using the Borland compiler at the command prompt in Windows 98. Now I have downloaded the Windows OpenGL library, and included the header file gl.h in the command: #include “gl.h”
But the compiler freaks out and tells me there are at least 26 errrors in gl.h - what the hell is going on?
