Assignment Description
Install OpenGL and its components in Ubuntu and compile programs for simple primitives (line, square, polygon and circle).
Procedure
Installation
Install the following packages from the Ubuntu repository:
freeglut3-dev
mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev
Check your =usr=include=GL folder to verify the installation of the OpenGL headers that you intend to use.
Compiling and Linking
We will have to use the lglut linker option with gcc=g++ to compile a program with glut library.
For example, to compile the program, use the following to get the binary executable code:
g++ primitive.cpp -lGL -lGLU -lglut -o primitive
