compiling with GCC?

gcc file.c -o file

i know that
i mean with opengl
i need to know how to link the libs and the compiler options in the string, tahts what i want a string of.

C-Junkie is completely correct, but since this is NeHe''s forum, I''m guessing you want some OpenGL stuff in there too .

Linking with GL libraries:
gcc file.c -o file -lGL -lGLU

Manually adding GL header directory to search path (the path may be different for you):
gcc file.c -o file -lGL -lGLU -I/usr/X11/include

Add "-Wall" for warnings and "-O2" (or 1 or 3, higher is better) for optimizations.

Yes, then you''ll need ''-lGLUT'' in there too.
