Erro when running OpenGL projet under Ubuntu 10.04

I downloaded QtSDK from website and installed on my computer, my OS is Ubuntu 10.04.

When I compile a project of OpenGL, there is an error "GL/gl.h no such file or directory".

but when I compile the projet under windows, it works. Why?

Who can resolve this problem for me?

You need to install the OpenGL development files. In Ubuntu they're in the package libgl1-mesa-dev. You'll also want to install libglu1-mesa-dev.

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

I recommend installing GLEW alongside, since you'll jump the extension hoops to get OpenGL-3 functionality.

Edit

Here's how to get GLEW in Ubuntu (from the comments):

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev
