Getting started with OpenGL ES 2.0 on Windows

Question

This is a very specific questions about the steps necessary to Build a simple OpenGL ES 2.0 program on the Windows platform. The environment is Visual Studio with unmanaged C++.

I go to the Khronos.org site and, frankly, find it a bit opaque because it reads like something written by a standards body. I don't want to download a "reference" or a "specification", etc.

All I'm looking for is the links and steps to get me from A to B. In otherwords, "Down load these files or run this setup at this URL. Create a new Visual studio project with references to these libraries. Include this header file."

Again, I'm interested in ES 2.0.

Answer 1

OpenGL ES is not generally available for Desktop machines. It is intended for embedded systems, hence the name - ES: Embedded Systems.

Answer 2

There isn't a native implementation available (the ES stands for Embedded Systems after all), but you could try ATI's OpenGL ES Emulator.
