(C++ Builder) How do I install OpenGL?

Answer: OpenGL is largely already installed.

The problem is how to install GLUT.

There are multiple ways to install GLUT:

• When you have Microsoft Visual Studio installed
• When you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed

When you have Microsoft Visual Studio installed

1. Copy /VC98/Include/gl/glut.h to /CBuilder6/Include/gl/glut.h
2. Copy the files /VC98/Lib/glut32.lib, /VC98/Lib/glu32.lib, /VC98/Lib/glaux.lib, /VC98/Lib/opengl32.lib and /VC98/Lib/winmm.lib to a temporary folder.
3. Copy the file /CBuilder6/Bin/coff2omf.exe to this temporary folder
4. type coff2omf glut32.lib glut32.~lib in this folder
5. type coff2omf glu32.lib glu32.~lib in this folder
6. type coff2omf glaux.lib glaux.~lib in this folder
7. type coff2omf opengl32.lib opengl32.~lib in this folder
8. type coff2omf winmm.lib winmm.~lib in this folder
9. type copy glut32.~lib glut32.lib in this folder. Do overwrite the file.
10. type copy glu32.~lib glu32.lib in this folder. Do overwrite the file.
11. type copy glaux.~lib glaux.lib in this folder. Do overwrite the file.
12. type copy opengl32.~lib opengl32.lib in this folder. Do overwrite the file.
13. type copy winmm.~lib winmm.lib in this folder. Do overwrite the file.
14. Copy all .lib files to CBuilder6/Lib

Done! You can delete the temporary folder now.

When you don't have Microsoft Visual Studio installed

I don't know. Perhaps YOU can write it down?
