Installing GLUT on your PC
As you may have found out, in order to run the programming assignments, you need to install GLUT. The simplest way I have found to install it is to just to download the zip file glutdlls.zip and to place the following files in the following directories:

glut.h          C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include\GL
glut.lib         C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib
glut32.lib     C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib
glut.dll         C:\Windows\system
glut32.dll     C:\Windows\system32

If you are not using the default install directories for Windows, or Visual Studio, just find where they have been installed, and place the preceding glut files in the appropriate subdirectories.
 

I copied this directly from http://cs-people.bu.edu/jisidoro/cs480/additional/glutinstr.html, and I don't know anything, so buggers to you if you don't get it to work.
