Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) setting up OpenGL

1. Install the C + + compilation package.

2. Install OpenGL and Freeglut Library

sudo apt-get install Mesa-common-dev

sudo apt-get install Freeglut3-dev

3. Testing:run This code, comes from OpenGL Red Book, by Save it as a CPP file. Then open the terminal and navigate to the directory containing this CPP file.

g++ TEXT.CPP-LGLUT-LGL
Then you'll get an a.out. Run it by

./a.out4. Done
