wgl*** is the Windows specific OpenGL functions? Then it make sense to be part of the Windows API.

yes they are. but that set of function is quite similar on both windows(wgl_***) and linux(glx_*** stuff)(mac has both carbon/cocoa specific stuff), however there are some differences in os level stuff like swap buffers and other, if wgl*** winapi decls will be added to phobos i wish there are also be added similar linux/x11 stuff, though i don't and don't plan to use linux that stuff will help a lot for all coders(standardization and so on) -_-

You recalled correctly, and according to MS these describe OpenGL 1.1. Anyway, OpenGL, and the gl.h file is not part of the Windows API. But I'd defiantly be for all the .h files in the SDK to be translated for Phobos.

You can't use OpenGL without creating a context(a window), and for that you a windowing system - either a general one(Win32/X/GTK/Qt) or an OpenGL-toolkit(GLUT/GLFW/SDL)(Yes, I know SDL is not an OpenGL toolkit, but it can function as one). Phobos does not have any windowing system - the Win32 binding are about the Windows filesystem and DLL loading, not about creating, managing and using graphical windows. That means you'll have to get an external library anyways to use OpenGL.

You sir need Derelict3:    https://github.com/aldacron/Derelict3

It not only has the gl.h you are looking for but FreeGlut, OGG, openAL, SDL2, etc.

Sorry for the delay.

Unfortunately I'm still out of any OpenGL development. As a result, I don't have any book to suggest. I just know it is possible to develop OpenGL apps with D but I never tried myself.
