How to Setup a FreeGLUT Project in Visual Studio (2020) || TechLearners

This is a tutorial video where we have showed how to setup a FreeGLUT project in Visual Studio IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

What is FreeGLUT?
Freeglut is a free-software/open-source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and highly portable.
GLUT (and hence freeglut) takes care of all the system-specific chores required for creating windows, initializing OpenGL contexts, and handling input events, to allow for trully portable OpenGL programs.
freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.

How to set library file for Opengl ES 2.0 in Visual Studio kindly make complete video on Opengl ES 2.0

[qwygyqat]

This is absolutely absurd compared to the difficulty of adding a library in Linux and just configuring your makefile with the commands. Why does this need to be like this?

[ItachiUchiha-qepy]

Hey can you please tell me what is the code written in VC++Directories??
