I just discovered that the last version of the libglut-devel package now installs a glut.h file in /usr/include/GL. This file takes precedance over the one in /usr/include/w32api/GL and declares the same functions but with a different calling convention. This makes the packages libglut-devel and opengl incompatible; you will have to uninstall one of them if you have both. libglut-devel is for applications that will run through and X server while opengl is for application that will use the natve Windows interface. The first is Linux compatible at the source level while the second is not, but is much faster. I will have to discuss the issue with the libglut-devel maintainer on the cygwin-apps list. Regards, - André Bleau, Cygwin's volunteer OpenGL package maintainer.
