Subject: OpenGL ICD with my TNT2

Hi, my problem is this: I would like to make OpenGL programs that 
makes use of my Creative 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra graphics board under 
Windows 98.

It appears as if I have the correct ICD installed (though the OpenGL 
screenblankers that was shipped with my Windows98 looks slow to 
me...) Anyway what I think I need is a static link library (libXXX.a) 
for gcc (from cygwin 20.1) that simply calls functions in the 
"OpenGL32.dll". Is this correct? I also need a set of headerfiles for 
my compiler.

Additionally I would like a "glut" or "glut-like" library that uses 
only standard Windows function calls to open a window and read some 
events. (No X-Server)

What I want is to be able to make OpenGL based programs with my 
cygwin compiler, and the programs are NOT allowed to require any 
special cygwin link libraries - i.e. it should run on a vanilla 
Windows machine. (Of course OpenGL ICD is required)

I know that this subject has been discussed, and perhaps already 
answered, but it appears as if I don't really understand what to do 
and how. It might be worth adding that I have never successfully 
managed to compile any ported package with cygwin, I have had to look 
for pre-compiled versions. I don't know if this is because I'm stupid 
or just not educated enough... :)
