well thanks jim,
there was indeed quite a bit of work to do to get it to build now i havent tested this out to far but i think it should work just fine.
i have attached the 3 built libs for any one wanting a go these are fully comprehensive libs for opengl they do every thing from matrix calcs to image and model loading as well as rendering and model opperations centering resizing and all sorts of lighting.
you can use just cl if you wish which is just the basics the clio and clu are extensions for model and image loading.
note for anyone wanting to use the clio lib you have to also use devilil.
i am now going to start messing around so i will post examples in the next few days.if any ones finds any problems please let me know. as i can addjust/change some things.
here is the offical documentation if any one wants to use the lib.
