Topic: FreeGlut 3.0 new release March 2015

Hi Jeff,

Would it possible to update the FreeGlut package to version 3.0.0?

Here are the links to the web page:

Freeglut 3.0.0 [Released: 7 March 2015]
http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php

freeglut 3.0.0 MinGW Package
This package contains 32 and 64 bit Windows DLLs, import libraries, static libraries, and header files, allowing freeglut applications to be compiled using the MinGW compiler. The package was built from source code using MinGW. The DLL is binary compatible with both my MSVC DLL, and the GLUT for Win32 DLL provided by Nate Robins. The DLL has been tested on Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (64 bit), and Windows 8 (64 bit).

The package should also work with the various IDEs which offer frontends to MinGW / gcc, for example Eclipse, Dev-C++, and Code::Blocks. However, you’ll need to consult the manual for your IDE for instructions on how to do this.

Frank,

I should be able to get this posted by Tuesday.  If it isn't available by Thursday, feel free to ping me again as to why I haven't finished up packaging it yet.

Frank,

This update will probably be delayed until next week.  This release of FreeGLUT uses CMake for building, which can be a painful process on Windows (regardless of what the intention surrounding CMake might be).

Jeff,

Just use your best judgement to determine if it's worth the extra effort.

It's not a high priority.

Thanks,

Frank
