NupenGL is a Nuget package containing a collection of commonly used OpenGL libraries. Install it and you should be ready to use:
- OpenGL
- FreeGLUT
- GLFW
- GLEW
Just install the NupenGL.Core Nuget package, which will also auto-install its dependency NupenGL.Redist.
- NupenGL.Core contains header and lib files.
- NupenGL.Redist contains DLLs.
Remember to #include <GL/freeglut.h> after your GLEW include.
No more worrying about searching the web for the appropriate lib, header and DLL files.
