Freeglut Binary
freeglut is an open-source GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) library, and is used to develop cross-platform OpenGL applications. The source code is available at freeglut project page.
Freeglut Binary for MinGW
This package contains pre-compiled freeglut libraries for 32-bit and 64-bit MinGW on Windows.
- libfreeglut.dll: Shared dynamic link libraries under freeglut/bin folder
- libfreeglut.dll.a: Shared libraries under freeglut/lib folder
- libfreeglut_static.a: Static libraries under freeglut/lib folder
- Header files under freeglut/include folder

Usage
For 64-bit MinGW, link with the shared library under freeglut/lib/x64 directory. Define FREEGLUT_STATIC macro if you want to link it statically.
// dynamic link for 64-bit
g++.exe -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -L./freeglut/lib/x64 -lfreeglut -lopengl32 ... // link
// static link for 64-bit
g++.exe -DFREEGLUT_STATIC -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -L./freeglut/lib/x64 -lfreeglut_static -lopengl32 ... // link
For 32-bit MinGW, compile with -m32 option and link with the shared library under freeglut/lib directory.
// dynamic link for 32-bit
g++.exe -m32 -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -m32 -L./freeglut/lib -lfreeglut -lopengl32 ... // link
// static link for 32-bit
g++.exe -m32 -DFREEGLUT_STATIC -I./freeglut/include ... // compile
g++.exe -m32 -L./freeglut/lib -lfreeglut_static -lopengl32 ... // link
Code::Blocks Project Settings
To build an OpenGL application statically linking freeglut in Code::Blocks project, go to Project > Build options... dialog. Then, specify the directories of your freeglut and define FREEGLUT_STATIC macro and link with freeglut_static library. If you want to dynamic link freeglut, specify freeglut library only.
