Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : freeglut Version : 2.2.0 Upstream Author : Pawel W. Olszta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Steve Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://freeglut.sourceforge.net * License : X Consortium-like Description : OpenGL Utility Toolkit
GLUT (as in ``gluttony'') is a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL programs. It implements a simple windowing API, which makes life considerably easier when learning about and exploring OpenGL programming. . GLUT is designed for constructing small to medium sized OpenGL programs, however it is not a full-featured toolkit, so large applications requiring sophisticated user interfaces are better off using native window system toolkits like GTK or Motif. I've had several requests in private mail to package this, and I think it'll be a welcome change to have an active upstream. It'll be my plan to replace the old semi-free glut with this package.
