this one drives me crazy. I’ve been searching for two days but cant find any answer.
I want to develop some things with OpenGL 3 (or newer) with Visual Studio 2010 / C++.
The header and libraries provided by Microsoft are way too old to support OpenGL 3, so I’m trying to find newer versions. I easily found the header file in the OpenGL registry (http://www.opengl.org/registry/) but I cant find the OpenGL32.lib anywhere. How am I supposed to link a program without it?
There isn’t a newer OpenGL library for windows, and there won’t be. They decided to stop at OpenGL 1.1 and even call it a legacy graphics.
However, you can use load opengl function, and that is how people get access to the latest opengl features.
You can also use GLEW library to get access to the opengl functions.
