FreeGLUT hasn't had a commit since September of 2006 and the Mesa GLUT provides what is needed. I haven't even tried to build freeGLUT. Does anybody still use it? Ouch, the licensing note is still correct:
# NOTICE: The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) distribution contains source # code published in a book titled "Programming OpenGL for the X Window # System" (ISBN: 0-201-48359-9) published by Addison-Wesley. The # programs and associated files contained in the distribution were # developed by Mark J. Kilgard and are Copyright 1994, 1995, 1996 by Mark # J. Kilgard (unless otherwise noted). The programs are not in the # public domain, but they are freely distributable without licensing # fees. These programs are provided without guarantee or warrantee # expressed or implied. # # GLUT source included with Mesa with permission from Mark Kilgard. While this message started out as a proposal to question FreeGLUT's future, it almost seems irresponsible to even consider keeping MesaGLUT in the book, especially without a warning about the license.
