Re: [Nel] gl.h

Okay, I did some reading through the mail archives and found the file I needed.  I guess this means the documentation just needs to be updated so people know to get this file (glext.h), and where to get it.

 

Here's the URL for those of you looking for it:

Subject: [Nel] gl.h

-- I'm compiling in win98, using MS VC++ 6.0.

 

I get the following errors:

 

Compiling...

Okay, so I go check the code, and I find out there's a comment there telling me to go download something (Shouldn't this sort of thing be in the readme file?)...

 

#include <GL/glext.h> // Please download it from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/"

 

I go to do that, and there's 2 versions available.  I grab the most recent, and unpack it to a temporary directory so I can go looking for these files, and maybe figure out exactly where I need to put them.

 

I can find glx.h, but there is no glext.h or gl.h... (both of which are required).

 

What am I missing?
