One of my earlier blogs, OpenGL and glut in C++ with MS Visual Studio 2008 (MSVS9) described how to set up your Visual Studio and Computer to work with glut, as well as OpenGL. Now with the new edition, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, as the version shifted from v6.0A to v7.0A, we need to change some path.So, here goes, what we need to do for using glut in MSVS10:
- Download the original
GLUTlibrary from Nate Robins’ site - Unzip the download and copy files as instructed below,
glut.hto the folderC:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\gl\glut32.libto the folderC:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\glut32.dllto the folderC:\Windows\System32\
- You are now ready to use
GLUT!
All other things remain same as described on http://wp.me/puVgg-j
happy gluting, nJoy!
inside the insight 
thank you (Y)

Thank you so much for this info! I’m a Computer Science student, and my professor uses an older version of VS in class, and I couldn’t figure out where to put the files 🙂

Tell me the version, I might try to suggest.
Anyway, Nate Robins’ original README has info about generic paths for VS 98; same path structures works for others too.

thanks to write a really “workable” blog for using glut on the VS series..
It save me lots of time.
Thanks 😛

I have done all of the instructions, but I still get error when write a sample code here:
#include “stdafx.h”
#include
void display()

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

I had a problem with my Windows 7 64 bit system. As soon as I wanted to start debugging, I got the following error message: […] could not find glut32.dll […]
It was necassary to copy the glut32.dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64. After this it worked without a problem.
Maybe this information was helpful.
