I've not tried openGL with Ada. But if you can't get it to build,
and want to try Fortran instead, then I have detailed instructions
how to build fortran with openGL and examples build statically that
you can download and run on linux as is. It took one 10 days of
full-time work to figure how to build Fortran with open-GL. It
is not easy, since openGL comes with many libraries and many dependencies.

This was all on Linux. On windows, no way I will even try this. Linux
is much easier to build software on.
