SDL Development

Hello,

Which is the best way to support OpenGL with extensions for Linux and
Windows?
I found “SDL_glel”, but i am not sure about this.

If you know a better way for using OpenGL-Extensions, please let me know.

thanks,
Martin

I found GLEW (glew.sf.net) the easiest way to use extensions across
all platforms.

I’ve used GLEE before (http://elf-stone.com/downloads.php) but I have
a feeling that GLEW is more mature.

Don’t use that ! It’s not working yet (and I know what I’m talking about
since I’m the author).

Some stuff to try :

i tested GLEW, after the hint from James Arthur.
GLEW looks like a good choice for my needs.

Thank you, Stephane and James.
