Im trying to get the code to compile but had no luck.
I’m running windows 7 with vs 2012 on C++ code.
OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Version 4.3: 8th Edition
the book also includes some code and lib at this web
opengl-redbook.com
All of the programs contained within this book use the OpenGL Utility
Toolkit (GLUT), originally authored by Mark Kilgard. For this edition, we use the open-source version of the GLUT interface from the folks
developing the freeglut project. They have enhanced Mark’s original work
(which is thoroughly documented in his book, OpenGL Programming for the
X Window System, Addison-Wesley, 1997). You can find their open-source
project page at the following address:
