This was my final submission for CS 471 Computer Graphics at my Undergraduate College.

Windows

Installing OpenGL and GLUT:

Windows comes pre-installed with OpenGL

glut.h

• glut.h
• on a 32-bit system: place this GLUT include file in C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\GL (you may have to create the GL subdirectory)
• on a 64-bit system: place this GLUT include file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\GL

glut.lib

• glut32.lib
• on a 32-bit system: place this GLUT library in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib
• on a 64-bit system: place this GLUT library in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib

Compiling OpenGL/GLUT programs:

• create a Visual C++ | Win32 Console Application | Empty project
• build and execute as usual

glut32.dll

• glut32.dll
• on a 32-bit system: place this dynamically-linked library into C:\Windows\System32
• on a 64-bit system: place this dynamically-linked library into C:\Windows\SysWOW64

Running the program

• Run the .exe file!
