Install these to get OpenGL working:
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
The OpenGL files should be in:
/usr/include/GL/
The Terminal (Compiler) reads (e.g. g++) from:
/usr/bin/
Compile like this (you might need to link more libraries, but test this):
g++ filename -lglut -lGL -lGLU

You should not need to mention their location explicitly in your Makefile since they should be in the standard library search path (probably in /usr/lib).
Like sisis wrote you should just need to add -lGL to the linker flags to link against libGL.so which might actually come from different sources: mesa or some fancy graphics card driver.

They're part of mesa, as libGL*.so.* and the like, usually in /usr/lib*.

If you don't have it then perhaps you should consider installing it from its package. Try something starting with `mesa` and ending with `-dev`. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Feb 02 '10 at 09:58

you can check the cmake cache file from any project that has successfully built with opengl, look for OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY
in my case it is:
OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so
