No: GL is typically installed with your video card drivers and glut must be installed as a separate package. On Linux, package managers handle this transparently and most people have freeglut installed (there is also openglut and the original glut). I'm not sure about Mac OS X but I suspect it also bundles some kind of glut. The last time I looked at Windows it provided only minimal support for GL and no glut. You can install glut on a Windows box but you have to do it manually. > It doesn't give you a very sophisticated UI - hardly anything beyond the > ability to open new windows - but it does work, it's simple, and it's > cross platform.
