(thanks to Shantanu Singh for these instructions)

I logged into a few systems in the 112 Caldwell and Visual Studio 2005
seems to be installed on all computers. The ones I tried out were the
computers in Section A and B in the lab. I was able to get Lab 1
running. There were a few things I had to do before that because the
Glut files were not installed and you don't have permission to access
the Windows and Program Files directories.

Here's what I did

1. First get the Glut files from
http://www.xmission.com/%7Enate/glut/glut-3.7.6-bin.zip
2. Create folders
Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\include
Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\include\GL
Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\lib

3. Unzip the file and ...
copy glut.h to Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\include\GL
copy glut32.lib to Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\lib

4. Here are some steps to create an OpenGL project in VisualStudio
http://www.cecs.csulb.edu/~pnguyen/Using OpenGL in Visual Studio 2005.htm


5. use your personal directory in the steps from item 4.

  In Project Properties > Configuration Properties > c/c++ >
  Additional include directions
  add Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\include

6. In Project Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > General
      > Additional library directions
  add Z:\WINDOWS\personal\glut\lib

7. Build the project

8. Copy glut32.dll into the directory where your exe file has been created

You should be able to have the program running now
