Freeglut Binary

freeglut is an open-source GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) library, and is used to develop cross-platform OpenGL applications. The source code is available at freeglut project page.

• freeglut for MinGW (g++)
• freeglut for MS VisualStudio (VC++)

Freeglut Binary for MinGW (g++)

This package contains pre-compiled freeglut libraries for 32-bit and 64-bit MinGW on Windows.

• libfreeglut.dll: Shared dynamic link libraries under freeglut/bin folder
• libfreeglut.dll.a: Shared libraries under freeglut/lib folder
• libfreeglut_static.a: Static libraries under freeglut/lib folder
• Header files under freeglut/include folder

Usage

// dynamic link for 64-bit
g++.exe -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -L./freeglut/lib/x64 -lfreeglut -lopengl32 ... // link
// static link for 64-bit
g++.exe -DFREEGLUT_STATIC -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -L./freeglut/lib/x64 -lfreeglut_static -lopengl32 ... // link

// dynamic link for 32-bit
g++.exe -m32 -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -m32 -L./freeglut/lib -lfreeglut -lopengl32 ... // link
// static link for 32-bit
g++.exe -m32 -DFREEGLUT_STATIC -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -m32 -L./freeglut/lib -lfreeglut_static -lopengl32 ... // link

Code::Blocks Project Settings

To build an OpenGL application statically linking freeglut in Code::Blocks project, go to Project > Build options... dialog. Then, specify the directories of your freeglut and define FREEGLUT_STATIC macro and link with freeglut_static library. If you want to dynamic link freeglut, specify freeglut library only.

Freeglut Binary for MS VisualStudio (VC++)

This package contains pre-compiled 64-bit/32-bit freeglut libraries for MS VisualStudio (VC++). The 64-bit versions are stored under x64 sub-directory.

• freeglut.dll: Shared dynamic link libraries (Release) under freeglut/bin folder
• freeglutd.dll: Shared dynamic link libraries (Debug) under freeglut/bin folder
• freeglut.lib: Shared libraries (Release) under freeglut/lib folder
• freeglutd.lib: Shared libraries (Debug) under freeglut/lib folder
• freeglut_static.lib: Static libraries (Release) under freeglut/lib folder
• freeglut_staticd.lib: Static libraries (Debug) under freeglut/lib folder
• Header files under freeglut/include folder

Usage

MS VisualStudio Project Settings

Copy the freeglut folder to the VS solution directory first. To build an OpenGL application statically linking freeglut in VisualStudio project, open the project property page. Then, specify the directories of your freeglut and define FREEGLUT_STATIC macro and link with freeglut_static.lib library. If you want linking freeglut dynamically, specify freeglut.lib library only.
