glut?

[bartbes]

I want to program (with c++) in openGL, but I need glut... does anyone knows how to get glut, I've downloaden glutg3 and I already had glut3 and libglut3 why do I still get this error:
1.cpp:3:21: fout: GL/glut.h: Onbekend bestand of map

You need to install the package libglut3-dev to get the headers and necessary library files.

Hello!

ubuntu has
freeglut3 - OpenGL Utility Toolkit
glutg3 - the OpenGL Utility Toolkit
libglut3 - the OpenGL Utility Toolkit

what is the difference between them?

[0xABC123]

Remove all other glut packages and install freeglut3 and freeglut3-dev.

Also, you should #include <GL/freeglut.h> instead of <GL/glut.h>, because <GL/glut.h> doesn't have some function prototypes such as glutMouseWheelFunc().

Glut is OK for simple things, but way too restrictive for anything else. SDL and GLFW do the same things glut does much better.
