This is what I did to get glaux running on Windows
DevC++/mingw. Beware: I'm a total C newbie, so this might
actually break something. Be sure to make backups of the files
you replace.

Go to opengl.org, download the windows API (or take this link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/info/1/W95/EN-US/Opengl95.exe )
It's probably a good idea *NOT* to to extract anything but the
libraries and headers from this file as your graphics card
drivers probably installed faster/optimized versions of the
DLL files.

From the zip's include/gl subdirectory you take glaux.h and copy
it to your compilers include folder (include/GL).
For some reason all DevC++ libraries are named libXXX.a where
XXXX is the name of what it *should* be called (but who am I to
complain about naming conventions). Anyway, in the zip folder lib/
there is a file called glaux.lib. Rename it to libglaux.a and
copy it to your compilers library path.

I also did the same with gl.* and glu32.*. Not sure if that was
neccessary so I suggest you try it without those first.

Hope that helps.
