What you need for this book

The book assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of using the OpenGL API. The example code distributed with this book contains Visual Studio 2010 Professional version project files. In order to build the source code, you will need freeglut, GLEW, GLM, and SOIL libraries. The code has been tested on a Windows 7 platform with an NVIDIA graphics card and the following versions of libraries:

freeglut v2.8.0 (latest version available from: http://freeglut.sourceforge.net)
GLEW v1.9.0 (latest version available from: http://glew.sourceforge.net)
GLM v0.9.4.0 (latest version available from: http://glm.g-truc.net)
SOIL (latest version available from: http://www.lonesock.net/soil.html)

We recommend using the latest version of these libraries. The code should compile and build fine with the latest libraries.
