Is there any way to create a core OpenGL context in SDL 1.2? I’ve been looking around, but Google only gives half completed tutorials that only work for Windows, when I need it to work on Windows and Linux.

It depends on what you mean by “OpenGL 3.0”.
If you’re just talking about the version number, then SDL should still be capable. If you’re talking about getting a core context instead of a compatibility one, then you’ll either have to use a version of SDL that supports that (the in-development 2.0) or something that isn’t SDL.
