I am feeling comfortable working with free glut with openGL 2.1 context and I wanted to try some of the newer features of openGL. I can not however find the best way to get a context for 4.1 I saw some things that seemed to imply that with the new versions of Free glut I can get a 3.1 context but nothing beyond that.
Is there an alternative to FreeGlut that provides a 4.1 context and some one who just learned glut would feel comfortable with?I am working on debian/ubuntu.
Out side of terrible grammar the mistake I was making was including <GL/glut.h> Which does call free glut on a stock Ubuntu system but does not include the freeglut_ext.h
