When i try to run any gl code i get this error

`Package gl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing gl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gl' found

I'm on a linux machine, don't know if that's relevant or not

Found out what the problem was.

If you're facing the same problem on a ubuntu/debian machine try running:

sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essentials (installs gcc)
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

these are essential for using go-gl on a ubuntu/debian machine.
