after further searching this is what I turned up. http://lordamit.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-opengl-in-linux-mint-ubuntu.html Will this do anything bad for the system or useless? What about the sample code that he included?Installing openGL in Linux Mint / Ubuntu for Graphics Lab <http://lordamit.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-opengl-in-linux-mint-ubuntu.html> This is fairly simple actually.All you have to do is to install the following things in your Linux distro.sudo apt-get install freeglut3 sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev sudo apt-get install binutils-gold And you are done :) Here is a sample code for you: /* * File: main.cpp * Author: lordamit * * Created on July 9, 2012, 12:53 PM */ #include <GL/glut.h> using namespace std; void draw(void) {//set Background colorglClearColor(1, 0, 0, 1); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); //Draw color glFlush(); } //Main program int main(int argc, char **argv) { glutInit(&argc, argv);glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB); //set window positionglutInitWindowPosition(50, 25);//set window sizeglutInitWindowSize(500, 250);//set window nameglutCreateWindow("My window");//Call to the drawing functionglutDisplayFunc(draw);glutMainLoop();return 0; } Save this file using name program.c and compile it using gcc -lGL -lglut program.c -o program And execute it using ./program You are done! :-)~MIKE~(-:On Sun, Jul 6, 2014 at 7:44 PM, Michael Havens <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:nope... it didn't help any.
