The original GLUT library seems to have been abandoned with the most recent version 3. However, various members of the community have put time and effort into providing source or binary rollups, and we thank them for their efforts. This is really unfortunate, since GLUT is getting old and really needs improvement. For more information about helping out, see the Help Out page and join the freeglut-developer mailing list. Open a command line in the directory with the source files and run the command mingwmake.

Here's a list which is likely incomplete:. Finally at the bottom we have our target compiling using all of our macros.
Lazy Foo' Productions
Save this Makefile code to a file named "Makefile" case sensitive with no file extension or you can use the one I premade here. Scroll down to the Prepackaged Releases section and click on the prepackaged zup binaries page.
Thanks to macros we can very easily change the macros to add more files and libraries as we need them. As you would expect, the command to compile the program is largely the same as the command we would compile it off the command line.
The documentation for freeGLUT can be found here. Feel free to test by downloading a tarball of current trunkor grabbing a copy from svnand give us feedback on how it worked for you.
GLUT's "Chess" demo running with freeglut. Olszta with contributions from Andreas Umbach and Steve Baker. You can easily help out by forking the unofficial clone of our sourceforge.
As you can see, we're using the include directory from the freeGLUT folder we extacted earlier. Notice how there's a -I before every include directory and a minga before every library directory.
OpenGL,Freeglut,MinGW
The freeglut project does not support packaged versions of freeglut excepting, of course, the tarballs distributed here. Also, GLUT's license is incompatible with some software distributions e. minyw
It's followed by the dependencies which as you can see is the OBJS macro, because obviously you need the source files to compile the program. Hello OpenGL Part 2: However, various members of the community have put time vreeglut effort into providing source or binary rollups, and we thank them for their efforts.
Niehorster are the current maintainers of the freeglut project. Now our compilation command is much more flexible. Make will search for a file named "Makefile" in the directory Make was called in and run the Makefile that will compile your code. A key difference is that we have macros that we insert into the command which makes things like adding new files to the project must easier since you only have to change the macro as opposed to changing the whole command.
Near the top we have the macros that define the files we're compiling and the compiler we're using. See here for an overview of the major points on our todo list. Notice how there's a -l flag before every library.
Lazy Foo' Productions - Setting up freeGLUT on MinGW
The documentation for OpenGL can be found here. GLUT and hence freeglut takes care of all the system-specific chores required for creating windows, initializing OpenGL contexts, and handling input events, to allow for trully portable OpenGL programs. After specifying the name of the target and its dependencies, the command to create the target is on the next line. For more information about helping out, see the Help Out page and join the freeglut-developer mailing list.
Here we have a basic Makefile. In this case we're disabling all warnings and disabling the console window. We are looking for developers to help out with further work on the Android and BlackBerry 10 ports.
MinGW Freeglut 64bit on Windows Example
Pawel started freeglut development on December 1st, Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and highly portable. This is really unfortunate, since GLUT is getting old and really needs improvement. All this will eventually become a freeglut 3. Its license does not allow anyone to distribute modified library code.
