Linux Setup

If your distro dosnt have OGL installed(it should most distros do) down load mesa from mesa3d.sf.net. Once installed OGL will be set up. To use OGL when starting i suggest you use glut but as you get into more advanced stuff id use SDL.

NeHe has a basecode that uses SDL and is available for linux as well as windows. That is the basecode I am using and it works very well except when you try to resize the screen and/or switch to fullcreen/windowed mode.

What do you mean by "setting everything up in Linux" ?

If you''re asking the question about how to develop OpenGL apps under Linux, I''d take vincoof''s advice and go for SDL (glut is not bad, but SDL takes care of input, video and sound : you''ll have only one documentation to read).

If you want to setup Linux to compile and run OpenGL application, it can be a bit more (but not very) complicated.
You''ll have to make sure you installed all required tools (make, gcc...), libraries (SDL, X11...) with their include files (devel packages in most distributions) and the accelerated drivers for your graphic card.

Please give us a few details about your problems ;*)
