OK, this got me interested.. so I just compiled and installed Mesa-3.0
so I could use OpenGL.
Prior to installing Mesa, I was missing gl.h, glu.h, and glut.h
Now I am just missing glut.h
I find the whole OpenGL thing a little confusing, especially
considering I am reluctant to invest in a gaming videocard.
Essentially I am just adding a whole bunch of generic function calls
that will do what a program would have done anyways (draw to the
screen) but everything is abstracted one layer over so that someday,
it might be 3D accelerated. OK.. fair enough - but why does it seem so
hard to gather together all the pieces?
