Getting GLUI and GLUT for your Own PC

This page was last updated: March 28, 2019

Windows

If you want to work on the projects on a Windows PC, you will need a copy of Visual C++. Then, you will need to get the GLUI and GLUT files as follows (right-click on each link and then click "Save Target As..."):

• Click here to get glut.h

  Install this file as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL\glut.h

• Click here to get glui.h

  Install this file as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL\glui.h

• Click here to get glut32.lib

  Install this file as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\glut32.lib, or put it in your project folder.

• Click here to get glui32.lib for Visual Studio 2003.

  Install this file as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\glui32.lib

• Click here to get glui32.2005.lib for Visual Studio 2005.

• Click here to get glui32.2008.lib for Visual Studio 2008. As this is still experimental, I recommend you just place this in your project folder. Be sure to change the name in your Linker-Input definition.

• Click here to get glut32.dll

  Install this file as: C:\WINNT\system32\glut32.dll, or put it in your Debug folder.

• Click here to get libcid.lib

  Place this file in your VC++ project directory, that is, where your .sln or your .dsw file was created.

• Click here to get libcd.lib

  Place this file in your VC++ project directory, that is, where your .sln or your .dsw file was created.

If you do not have write permission to the C: drive, then place the .h and .lib files in your VC++ project directory, that is, where your .dsw file was created. Place .dll files in the Debug or release folders under that directory.

Linux

• Click here to get glut.h

  Install this file as: /usr/include/GL/glut.h

• Click here to get libglut.a

  Install this file as: /usr/lib/libglut.a

• Click here to get glui.h

  Install this file as: /usr/include/GL/glui.h

• Click here to get libglui.a

  Install this file as: /usr/lib/libglui.a
