All other software applications on this site.
If you still canât get it working after trying to compile a simple application, then please get in touch providing as much detail as you can.
A lot of people try to build very complex applications after installing these packages, and often the error is with the application code or other library dependencies rather than freeglut. If you have followed all of the steps correctly but your application still fails to build, try building a very simple but functional program (this MinGW freeglut example is good, whether or not you are using MinGW). Almost all of the problems which are reported with these packages are due to missing a step or not doing it correctly, for example trying to build a 32 bit app against the 64 bit import library. If you have problems using these packages (compiler / linker errors etc.), please check that you have followed all of the steps in the readme file correctly. If you need to support Windows NT 4.0, you will need to download one of these packages as freeglut â¥2.8.0 is not compatible with this platform. If you would prefer to download the older 2.4.0, 2.6.0 or 2.8.x packages, they can be found in the older GLUT packages directory.
However, youâll need to consult the manual for your IDE for instructions on how to do this.ĭownload freeglut 3.0.0 for MinGW (with PGP signature and PGP key)įor further details on using freeglut with MinGW, see my GLUT MinGW article. The package should also work with the various IDEs which offer frontends to MinGW / gcc, for example Eclipse, Dev-C++, and Code::Blocks. The DLL has been tested on Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (64Â bit), and Windows 8 (64Â bit). The DLL is binary compatible with both my MSVC DLL, and the GLUT for Win32 DLL provided by Nate Robins. The package was built from source code using MinGW. This package contains 32 and 64Â bit Windows DLLs, import libraries, static libraries, and header files, allowing freeglut applications to be compiled using the MinGW compiler.

You are also encouraged to visit that link to star and watch the repository if you find it useful. Alternatively you can download a Hello GLUT source release. If you have Git installed, you can get the sample code for a simple âHello Worldâ GLUT application by running â git clone . If youâre downloading one of the packages on this page, youâll probably want some sample code to try it out. You can use them to build freeglut applications using Microsoftâs Visual C++ and MinGW. Windows freeglut binary packages are somewhat hard to find, particularly for the MinGW compiler, so Iâve created suitable packages and put them online. It was the first time I had ever written a real application, and I still have a soft spot for GLUT.įor my university project, I used Nate Robinsâ GLUT for Win32 project for the Windows build, and freeglut for the Linux build. I went on to do my final year project, creating a simulation in C++ and OpenGL. The other half of the course consisted of programming real-time interactive graphics using C and OpenGL, with the help the GLUT library freeglut. Half of the course consisted of using POV-Ray to create images, and then putting them together to make a high quality animation. Whilst at the University of Essex, I took a module called âInteractive Computer Graphicsâ (or EE222 as we referred to it).
