From where to download opengl for C++??????
this depends on what operating system you're using, first of all. If you're using linux it should be simple, if your distro didn't start with opengl, in terminal type





sudo apt-get install synaptic





which is a GUI repository browser, run a search for opengl and you'll be able to see all the various libraries. Pick the basic opengl download, make sure the c libraries are all checked, and then apply, synaptic will download, install and configure them.





For Windows, I don't know. Go to the source, find the official site of opengl's dev team, and the info for installing and configuring it shouldbe there.
Reply:Have you read this wiki article? OpenGL is just a library, and a dumb one at that. We have to command each step. The article mentions the main web site of OpenGL. Utility code wrappers such as GLUT and FreeGLUT use C++ to manage OpenGL, BUT... GLUT and FreeGLUT are written in C.
