[ C++ ] glut win7 64 bit + VS2012

OpenGL comes with the OS and Visual Studio 2012/2010/2008 installations, to verify:

• runtime libraries:
  C:\Windows\System32\{opengl,glu}32.dll 
  on 64-bit Windows:
  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\{opengl,glu}32.dll
• header files:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include\gl\{GL,GLU}.h
["Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows; VS2010: v7.0A, VS2008: v6.0A]
• linker library:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Lib\OpenGL32.Lib
["Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows; VS2010: v7.0A, VS2008: v6.0A]

If GLUT is not installed, you can install it by downloading the glut zip file (v. 3.7.6) (web site) and copying its files as follows:

• runtime library:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio *\VC\bin\glut32.dll
["Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows; The '*' matches your version of VS: 11.0 for VS2012, 10.0 for VS2010, 9.0 for VS2008]
• header file:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio *\VC\include\GL\glut.h
["Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows; You have to create the "GL" directory]
• linker library:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio *\VC\lib\glut32.lib
["Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows]
