<div class="textheader">How to install freeglut...</div>
|
|
<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. (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>
|
|
|
|
<div class="textheader">Untar and configure the packages</div>
|
|
<p>Copy the tarball you downloaded into a temporary directory. Untar it as follows:</p>
|
|
<pre>zcat freeglut-2.2.0.tar.bz2 | tar -vxf -</pre>
|
|
|
|
<div class="textheader">Change to the resulting directory:</div>
|
|
<pre>cd freeglut-2.X.X</pre>
|
|
|
|
<div class="textheader">Now, configure the packages:</div>
|
|
<pre>./configure</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>NetBSD users may need a slightly different command:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib ./configure</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>...to properly handle things.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="textheader">Build and install freeglut</div>
|
|
<p>Once that completes, it's time to build and install freeglut (Note that you will have to be the superuser to make install).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is as simple as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
make all
|
|
make install
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>This will install the libraries, headers, and symlinks to replace GLUT.</p>
