setting up opengl and glut on windows 7

i have cygwin and netbeans installed on my computer working compatibly. I want to set up opengl and glur and bind those to my c/c++ projects in Netbeans? However, I couldn't find a way how to set up opengl and glut on w7. Any help 开发者_开发问答?

The GLUT page on www.opengl.org includes a link to these instructions. Have you tried this method?

Note that they seem to be specific to Microsoft Visual C++. Make sure you replace the paths so that they match your NetBeans installation.

Having just gone through this pain to get some example programs up and running that rely on GLUT this is what worked for me.

Sign to be a developer for NIVIDA (https://developer.nvidia.com/join) and use their now legacy CG toolkit (https://developer.nvidia.com/cg-toolkit-download). You might want to see if you can download that without being a developer.

This includes both a 32 bit and a 64 bit pre-compiled GLUT library and header. See the following URL: http://http.developer.nvidia.com/Cg/glut.html

he Cg Toolkit installer for Windows provides a pre-compiled 32-bit (and 64-bit if selected) versions of GLUT. GLUT is provided both as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) and a static library.

The GLUT DLL is called glut32.dll and requires linking against glut32.lib. These 32-bit versions are typically installed at:

c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Cg\bin\glut32.dll c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Cg\lib\glut32.lib

The 64-bit (x64) versions are installed at:

c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Cg\bin.x64\glut32.dll c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Cg\lib.x64\glut32.lib

Which is wierd I know, but glut is super old and lots of things require the name to be specifically "glut32" even for 64 compiliing.

Hope this helps!
