OpenGL Setup Windows 7

OpenGL setup for Windows using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2008 Professional Install Visual Studio Professional on your PC (free for Duke students) The below instructions for using GLUT were done with Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I would encourage you to get 2008 Professional or 2012 Professional. Do NOT get 2013, as it is not a stable build. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd831853.aspx Once you have Visual Studio installed you need to get GLUT. Getting GLUT: Go to http://user.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html Download: glut-3.7.6-bin.zip make sure you remember where it has been saved on your computer. unzip the glut-3.7.6-bin.zip file you will need to know the full path to these files for the following steps, e.g. “C:\code\glut\glut-3.7.6-bin” * Note that by default Extract All inserts an extra glut-3.7.6-bin subfolder, e.g. “ path_to_zi p_file\glut- 3.7.6-bin\glu t-3.7.6-bin”. Just make sure you use the full path to the folder of the above files in the subsequent steps. Add GLUT to your path: Right-click on Computer, choose Properties Click on Advanced system settings on the left Click on Environment Variables at the bottom Scroll through the System variables at the bottom to find Path Click Edit
