Installing and using GLUT on Windows with Visual Studios 2010

by Deborah R. Fowler
1. Dowload GLUT (link is http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html)
we are using glut-3.7.6-bin.zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Put glut32.dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64
4. Put glut.h into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\gl
5. Put glut32.lib into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib
6. Now inside Visual Studios 2010 go to
Project->(your-project-name)Properties
Configuration Properties->Linker->Input
And under Additional Dependencies add
glut32.lib; glu32.lib; opengl32.lib;
If you type them straight in, you must separate them with semicolons.
If you use the dialog box that pops up under edit you can type them in in this
case no semicolons are required:
glut32.lib
glu32.lib
opengl32.lib

7. Now in your project you can use #include <gl/glut.h>


(You do not need to include <windows.h> or <gl/GL.h> as glut.h already does so)
