Using OpenGL extensions On Windows

Question

I want to use the functions exposed under the OpenGL extensions. I\'m on Windows, how do I do this?

Answer 1

A 'Very strong reason' not to use GLEW might be that the library is not supported by your compiler/IDE. E.g: Borland C++ Builder.

In that case, you might want to rebuild the library from source. If it works, great, otherwise manual extension loading isnt as bad as it is made to sound.
