<p>It's not *that* hard...</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Presently, there are few pre-packaged installs, so the recommended method for most users is to follow these instructions. Even if you have a package system that includes freeglut, you may wish to manually install for a variety of reasons. A likely reason is simply that the latest version of freeglut may not have been packaged.</p>

<p>So...</p>

<div class="textheader">Download freeglut</div>

<p>First, you need to download a freeglut release. Newer is generally better, but unless you know what you're doing, you should use a release marked "Stable." So download the newest Stable release that you can.</p>

So download the newest Stable release that you can. (On the other hand, if you discover a bug and want to report it, it is helpful to try to run the "current" freeglut, as we have been known to fix some bugs before they are reported.)</p>

<p>GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.</p>
|

<p>freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="textheader">Why?</div>
|
||||
<p>The original GLUT library seems to have been abandoned with the most recent version (3.7) dating back to August 1998. It's license does not allow anyone to distribute modified library code. This would be OK, if not for the fact that GLUT is getting old and really needs improvement. Also, GLUT's license is incompatible with some software distributions (eg Xfree86).</p>

<div class="textheader">Who?</div>

<p>freeglut was originally written by Pawel W. Olszta with contributions from Andreas Umbach and Steve Baker. Steve is now the official owner/maintainer of freeglut.</p>

<div class="textheader">When?</div>

<p>Pawel started freeglut development on December 1st, 1999. The project is now a virtually 100% replacement for the original GLUT with only a few departures (such as the abandonment of SGI-specific features such as the Dials&Buttons box and Dynamic Video Resolution).</p>
