OPENGL FOR MAC INSTALL

MinGW: For MinGW, we need to install GLUT separately.Eclipse CDT with Cygwin or MinGW Installing Eclipse CDT / Cygwin or MinGW, OpenGL, GLU and GLUT Step 1: Setup the Eclipse CDT (C Development Toolkit) It is important to locate the directory path and the actual filename of these header files and libraries in your operating platform in order to properly setup the OpenGL programming environment. An optional shared library: for example, " glut32.dll" (for " freeglut.dll") for GLUT under Win32, typically kept under " bin " or " c:\windows\system32".

A static library: for example, in Win32, " libopengl32.a" for core OpenGL, " libglu32.a" for GLU, " libglut32.a" (or " libfreeglut.a" or " glut32.lib") for GLUT, typically kept under " lib" directory.A header file: " gl.h" for core OpenGL, " glu.h" for GLU, and " glut.h" (or " freeglut.h") for GLUT, typically kept under " include\GL" directory.

Įach of the software package consists of: GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the target platform." Source and pre-build binary available at.

OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW): "GLEW is a cross-platform open-source C/C++ extension loading library.

While GLUT is well-suited to learning OpenGL and developing simple OpenGL applications, GLUT is not a full-featured toolkit so large applications requiring sophisticated user interfaces are better off using native window system toolkits. Quoting from the : "GLUT is designed for constructing small to medium sized OpenGL programs. GLUT functions start with a prefix of " glut" (e.g., glutCreatewindow, glutMouseFunc).

OpenGL Utilities Toolkit (GLUT): provides support to interact with the Operating System (such as creating a window, handling key and mouse inputs) and more building models (such as sphere and torus).

GLU functions start with a prefix " glu" (e.g., gluLookAt, gluPerspective)

OpenGL Utility Library (GLU): built on-top of the core OpenGL to provide important utilities and more building models (such as qradric surfaces).

The Core OpenGL models an object via a set of geometric primitives, such as point, line, and polygon.

Core OpenGL (GL): consists of hundreds of functions, which begin with a prefix " gl" (e.g., glColor, glVertex, glTranslate, glRotate).

We need the following sets of libraries in programming OpenGL: We need a C/C++ compiler, either GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) from MinGW or Cygwin (for Windows), or Visual C/C++ Compiler, or others.
