# Freeglut-3.0.0

## Introduction to Freeglut

Freeglut is intended to be a 100% compatible, completely opensourced clone of the GLUT library. GLUT is a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL programs, implementing a simple windowing API, which makes learning about and exploring OpenGL programming very easy.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.4 platform.

## Installation of Freeglut

Install Freeglut by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/lib     \
    CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/include \
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr       \
          -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release        \
          -DFREEGLUT_BUILD_DEMOS=OFF        \
          -DFREEGLUT_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF  \
          .. &&

    make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`-DFREEGLUT_BUILD_DEMOS=OFF`: Disable building optional demo programs. Note that if you choose to build them, their installation must be done manually. The demo programs are limited and installation is not recommended.

`-DFREEGLUT_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF`: Do not build the static library.

## Contents

Installed Programs: None
Installed Library: libglut.so
