OK,
I guess it sounds strange, but I would like to know how to use Open Gl under the Dos system because I guess it will be easier to handle all the events that can happen. I
hope someone is able to write me simple C++ code ( Im using Turbo C++ 4.5 so Im able to compile programms for Dos ).
Thanks alot for even thinking bout it.
I have not tried it, but I think that you only need to download the opengl library and header files.
Just add the gl.h, glu.h and glaux.h headers to your program. Now if I am not wrong about this you will not be able to use the glut library becouse it is based for use with windows.
One other thing is that you are using Turbo C++, you may need to find a copy of the gl library files compiled for use with Turbo C++, because I am not sure the ones for Microsoft VC++ will work with Turbo C.
But will not hurt to try or maybe someone else can anwser this.
Try this:

All OpenGL libraries is using some kind of external driver (either MS’s own software, or HW manufacturers own drivers, or something similar). And all these drivers is Windowsbased, i.e. no dos-functionality.
To code for dos, you can download Mesa 3D , which have separate drivers for dos.
And no, GLUT won’t work under dos.
And there will be VERY (if not impossible) to get hardwareacceleration under dos, unless you are using glide-drivers and Mesa 3D. But then you must have a 3Dfx-based card.
Thanks for the input, I was sure about glut not working. Not so sure about the other.
