I have installed glut 3.8 libraries and glut demos for Linux machines
on Athena. glut is a programming interface toolkit for developing
graphics applications based on OpenGL/Mesa. Documentation consists of an
extensive man page (add glut; man glut), as well as many man 3 pages
for glut functions located below /mit/glut/glut-default/man/man3. A
good general reference for glut programming is the text "OpenGL
Programming for the X Window System" (Kilgard, Addison Wesley).
Release 3.8 is not yet out for Sun and SGI; the 3.8 Linux release is
based on a dynamic libglut.so library as opposed to the static libglut.a
library for Sun and SGI in the 3.7 glut release.
To run demos and build your own glut-based applications, add the glut
locker and see file /mit/glut/README.to-run.
