How To Use Opengl In C++
Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:

Installation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler Options
Here, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11
.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File
(or Ctrl+N
)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As...
(or Ctrl+Alt+S
)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp
extension, such as example.cpp
.Now, hitting
F11
should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x
, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto
since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.Tutorial

Mar 17, 2019 Installing Visual C, Linux, or any commercial software is out of the question for me. A few months back, I installed the Dev-C, GNU C compiler for Windows, on my computer. It provided a demo program of rotating triangles which happens to work. However, all the books on OpenGL seem to require GLUT, which I don’t have. The only thing I’ve been able to do so far is change the color of.
Opengl In Dev C++
This tutorial is for those who want to get started with OpenGL using Dev-C. OpenGL is open graphics library created by silicon graphics. It is the specification of some functions that let you draw some shape on the screen.This article makes use of library called GLUT,that works with OpenGL to create and maintain a window.
