A future prospective employer mentioned C++ is an excellent language to learn for the field I wish to work in, and especially in their company. "Sounds good" says I. I already taught myself enough Python to have fun with it, C++ seems like a nice language after that. (For precisely the same reasons the languages are different. Strongly typed, compiled, etc.)

Now, after wrestling with Google, and the Eclipse SDK, I gave up, (it was going on about "toolchains", and I was thoroughly confused, and couldn't get anything to compile) and installed Visual C++ 2008 EE.

All's now well and good, and I'm quickly getting used to syntax, non-dynamic variables, etc.

Thing is, I learn to swim faster if I'm in the deep end. Where I left Python, I was trying to implement some sort of primitive 3D rendering with a 2D library, so I figured an acceptable depth for C++ would be some sort of 3D shenanigans.

All this, so far, points to DirectX being a likely candidate. No thanks, I'm in this for open-source, cross-platform, hyphenated-fun.

So, to OpenGL. In Python, as you can imagine, I'm used to just "import PyOpenGL as og" or whatever. From what I gather, the parallel(s) in C++ is/are libraries. And this is where I deadend. I can't seem to find libraries that aren't windows-specific. Every tutorial I've stumbled upon looks extremely windows-specific, too, one of them mixing OpenGL graphics, with DirectX input or sound modules, or something. (Didn't make sense to me; if you're on windows, and windows alone, why not just use full DirectX?)

So, TL;DR version: Cross-platform C++ OpenGL libraries + documentation please.

Added bonus question: How do I get Eclipse to work?
