Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: freeglut-2.2.0-1
Reply-To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

freeglut - Free OpenGL Utility Toolkit - has been uploaded to cygwin.com


DESCRIPTION
===========
freeglut is a completely OpenSourced 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) allows the user to create and manage windows
containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read
the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.
Canonical website: http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/


UPDATE
======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'freeglut' from the 'Libs' category, if you install it for the first
time, click on the 'skip' field next to 'freeglut' until '2.2.0-1' is
displayed.
