    <p>I would like to be able to go through a lesson on OpenGL so that I may learn to use OpenGL. This means that I need to be able to compile and run the programs myself, so that I may play around with them and begin making my own OpenGL projects. I can't do this if I can't install and include libraries that the lesson is using. So, I need either: </p> <ul> <li><p>a lessons with instruction, for OSX, on how to install the libraries that the lesson uses</p></li> <li><p>a lesson that only teaches with the libraries that come with OSX (<code>GLUT</code> and <code>OpenGL</code>).</p></li> </ul> <p>From what I have seen around the web, it appears that GLEW is the most used library with these lessons so instruction on how to install that would be top priority. However, if there is another lesson that uses another library and you know how or have a link on how to set that library up for Mac, I would see that as a helpful answer.</p> <p>Finally, overall, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how they have their Mac set up with OpenGL, or point me to a tutorial that works with Macs.</p> <p>Here are the tutorials I have been looking at:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="http://duriansoftware.com/joe/An-intro-to-modern-OpenGL.-Table-of-Contents.html" rel="nofollow">http://duriansoftware.com/joe/An-intro-to-modern-OpenGL.-Table-of-Contents.html</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.cprogramming.com/graphics-programming.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cprogramming.com/graphics-programming.html</a></p></li> </ul> <p>I have been able to get the headers <code>GLUT/GLUT.h</code> and <code>OpenGL/gl.h</code> which I think are OpenGL's main header files so, alternatively, if there is a lesson out there that only relies on these two headers (or any headers in the GLUT.framework or the OpenGL.framework included with OS X Lion) that would work just fine for me.</p>
