This installation works for the gcc compiler that is installed with Ubuntu Linux, and will allow you to compile and run the NeHe tutorials that have been recoded for use under Linux/SDL by Ti Leggett (and others).
It will also work with SDL and OpenGL programs coded for gforth v7, using the libcc interface package.
I have just verified (06/27/2010) that this works on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Linux v10.04 LTS.
--- This does not install *everything* OpenGL, but I have worked through about half of the NeHe tutorials without having to add additional packages as yet.
*** *** ***
From the desktop of your Ubuntu Linux installation, run the Synaptic Package Manager (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager), enter your password, and enter 'libsdl' into the search box. You will get a listing of many possible packages, but these are the ones that you need to mark for installation:
libsdl-ttf2.0-0
libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
libsdl-image1.2
libsdl-image1.2-dev
libsdl-mixer1.2
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libsdl1.2debian-all
If the checkbox for one of these is already green (installed), do not reinstall it.
Sometimes, when you mark an entry, a window will pop up with a list of multiple files that will also be included. Accept the additional files, and mark all for installation in the package. An example of this is that we marked seven packages above, but about 50 will have been marked for installation.
Once you have marked these, click on the Apply button on the top line menu, and the selected packages will be installed.
Next, enter 'libgl' into the search box, and select the entry for
libgl1-mesa-dev
Mark the entry for install, then click Apply to do so.
-- The libgl1-mesa-dev file can be loaded during the processing of the above SDL libraries, so if it is already marked, do not re-install it.
In the search box, enter 'libglu', and select the entries:
libglu1-mesa-dev
libglut3-dev
Mark the entries for install, then click Apply to do so.
The last graphical package to add is 'xorg' - enter this into the search box and select the following package:
xorg-dev
Mark the entry for install, then click Apply to do so.

If you want to go ahead and install the gforth v7.0 system, do the following:
The next package to install is 'libtool' - enter this into the search window, mark the entry, and then Apply to install it.
libtool
The last package is the gforth system, so enter 'gforth' into the search box, select
gforth
Mark the entry for install, then click Apply to do so.
It will also work with SDL and OpenGL programs coded for gforth v7, using the libcc interface package.
