My understanding is that OpenGL is a crossplatform graphics API. So is they away of right a cross platform OpenGL program. No WinMain() no message-pump. Just a nice int main(). Also are they any good book on this form of cross-platform development. [edited by - jamescox3k on December 15, 2002 12:16:20 PM]

Or you could try SDL, which not only provides a way into opengl, but also audio, input, timing, multitheading and more. It''s also more common installed on other platforms than GLUT is.
