Download the GLUT libraries via this link: http://avida.cs.wright.edu/courses/CEG476/glut-3.7.6-bin.zip Copy the GLUT files from the zip archive to the following directories: glut.h: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\Include\gl glut.lib: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\Lib glut32.dll: C:\WINDOWS\system32 For other versions of Windows, you can simply copy the files into the corresponding directories for the SDK version you have installed, e.g. v8.1 or v7.0A. Make sure your IDE, e.g. Visual Studio, knows the paths to the header file and library. In Visual Studio, this can be done in the properties dialog for your project under the compiler and linker settings.
