What about the sample code that he included?<div>

This is fairly simple actually.<br><br>All you have to do is to install the following things in your Linux distro.<br><br><pre>sudo apt-get install freeglut3
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install binutils-gold</pre>And you are done :)<br><br>Here is a sample code for you:<br><br><pre>/*

#include <GL/glut.h>
using namespace std;
void draw(void) {
//set Background color
glClearColor(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 position
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 25);
//set window size
glutInitWindowSize(500, 250);
//set window name
glutCreateWindow("My window");
//Call to the drawing function
glutDisplayFunc(draw);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}</pre><br>Save this file using name program.c and compile it using<br><pre>gcc -lGL -lglut program.c -o program</pre><br>And execute it using<br><pre>./program</pre><br>You are done!</div><div><br></div>

You'll need to make sure the appropriate OpenGL drivers are
installed, plus these libraries:<br clear="none">
* <i>libSDL 1.2</i><br clear="none">
* <i>libSDL_image</i><br clear="none">
* <i>OpenAL</i><br clear="none">
(Note: To use the client provided with the Linux package, you
will need <i>OpenAL-Soft</i> instead of OpenAL, otherwise you
will need to compile your own client if you would rather use
normal OpenAL).
