I'm looking for a good source of GLES2 samples for C++ (or C) on x86 Linux with Xorg. The samples I can find are all in Objective C for iOS, or Java for Android, or JavaScript for WebGL. The Kronos web site has a "tutorials" section that contains two lines saying "our tutorials index will go here." Given that GLES2 is 5 years old, I don't have much hope on a sudden surge of content there.
I already know OpenGL pretty well. I'd just like some convenient source for copy-and-paste context set-up code, really. Where can I find something like that?
Mesa demos!
GLFW, Mesa, Ubuntu 16.04 AMD64
I'm not sure if GLUT supports GLES, but GLFW does, greatly simplifying window management.
sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev libgles2-mesa-dev
gcc glfw_triangle.c -lGLESv2 -lglfw

The key line lines of code are:
#define GLFW_INCLUDE_ES2
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
GLFW_INCLUDE_ES2
is documented at: http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build_guide.html#build_macros and a quick look at the source shows that it forwards to GLES:
#elif defined(GLFW_INCLUDE_ES2)
#include <GLES2/gl2.h>
#if defined(GLFW_INCLUDE_GLEXT)
#include <GLES2/gl2ext.h>
#endif
This source seems to be is in the common subset of GLES and OpenGL (like much of GLES), and also compiles with -lGL
if we remove the #define GLFW_INCLUDE_ES2
.
If we add things which are not in GLES like immediate rendering glBegin
, link fails as expected.

ARM Mali OpenGL ES SDK
Contains several interesting open source examples + windowing system boilerplate (X11 + EGL).
The build system supports easy cross compilation for ARM / Mali SoCs, but I haven't tested that yet.
The key component included seems to be the "OpenGL ES Emulator" http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/tools/opengl-es-emulator/ which "maps OpenGL ES 3.2 API calls to the OpenGL API". But that does not ship with source, only precompiled.
Uses a custom enterprisey EULA that appears to be permissive, but yeah, ask your lawyer.
Tested on SDK v2.4.4.
