Re: [isugamedev-devel] how do I install GLUT?

[Kevin M. <ke...@vr...>]

I typically do this:

put the glut.h into your msvc++ include\GL\ directory
put the glut.lib into your msvc++ lib\ directory
put the glut.dll into your c:\windows\system directory

This effectively installs glut for use by visual studio.  


you'll probably see that your other opengl stuff (that comes with VC++) is
in similar places:

include\GL\gl.h
include\GL\glu.h
lib\glu32.lib
lib\OpenGL32.lib


Where the root dir is on your system depends on where you installed msvc++
to... if all else fails, just do a file search for glu.h and you'll find
where to put your headers.
