Erro when running OpenGL projet under Ubuntu 10.04

I downloaded the QtSDK from the website and installed on my computer, my OS is Ubuntu 10.04.

When I compile an OpenGL project, I get the error "GL / gl.h no such file or directory".

but when I compile the project across windows it works. Why?

Who can solve this problem for me?

You need to install the OpenGL development files. On Ubuntu, they are in the package libgl1-mesa-dev

. You will also want to install libglu1-mesa-dev

.

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

I recommend installing GLEW side by side, as you will be skipping the extension skins to get OpenGL-3 functionality.



Edit

Here's how to get GLEW in Ubuntu (from comments):

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev
