Description: When you start to program in OpenGL, you might need a decent Integrated Development Environ-
ment (IDE). Being free, open-source and platform independent, Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.
org/) is an excellent choice. Although officially a Java Development Environment, Eclipse can
work with C, C++, COBOL, Python, Perl, PHP, and other programming languages by means
of an extensible plug-in system. This section will offer a step-by-step guide on how to configure
Eclipse for C++ and OpenGL on Windows and Ubuntu (Linux). At the time of writing the version
of Eclipse is 3.5.1 (Galileo), and I used Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Linux Mint 8 32bit (based on
Ubuntu 9.10). Getting everything to work on Ubuntu is easier and less time consuming, so if you
wanted to try Linux at some point, now might be the right time.
