   OpenGL in VS Express
  Hey, I'm primarily a linux developer and am currently trying to port some older C applications to C++ using Visual C++ Express 2005.Is there any good guides around for getting OpenGL, GLUT, SDL etc working with VC++E? I can't seem to find much info on it. Somebody suggested the Windows Platform SDK?Cheers,   
  the opengl stuff is in the platform sdk and it should work in vc2005e.sdl and other libs work with vc2005 without problems, as i havent heard of any problem. just get the libs from their homepages.   ;  It's easy.You need to download the Platform SDK; link and instructions here: Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2 with the Microsoft Platform SDK (ignore the part about Beta 2, it isn't in beta anymore).Do as the instructions tell you and then you can include <GL/gl.h>, <GL/glu.h> when needed.You can get GLUT for Windows here: Nate Robins - OpenGL.Download GLUT if needed and put the glut.h file in the Platform SDK include directory (where the other GL headers can be found), and put glut.lib in the lib Platform SDK directory (where the GL libs can be found).For SDL, follow the instructions on their site (I don't use it myself so I don't really know, but I'm sure it's easy to get up and running. I even think they have an installer program for Windows you can download).   ;  Cheers for the quick reply :D Windows development is so ancient compared with linux! o.O   ;  Just another quick question, the PSDK has a lot of optional libraries that don't seem too relevant for me, which ones do I need to install to start with OpenGL?
