OpenGL starter project

Question

I would like to learn OpenGL programming on LINUX. I have found that I learn the quickest if I have a small self contained working project I can study and tweak. I could work with C, C++ or python source code.

Where can I find a good starter OpenGL example project that builds without too much hassle on Ubuntu 10.04?

Nehe is a really good teacher of OpenGL http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=01 The lessons are windows based but at the buttom of the page you can find vcodes for other os.

This is the link for the basic openGL app for linux: http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/linux/lesson01.tar.gz

Edit: Check out te glut library also it makes things easier.

Here some nice samples too. http://www.codesampler.com/linuxsrc.htm

Why don't you take a look at Panda3D ? It is a framework for 3D rendering and game development for Python and C++ programs. They have a series of examples to get you started. http://www.panda3d.org/

As already pointed out, nehe is not that bad.

But if you google it, you will get lots of opengl tutorials. Just pick 1.
