the PLib team has a long range goal of using freeglut as a base
for a 'better' gaming oriented library, but none of us have felt the
mecessary 'itch' as GLUT seems to work well enough.
These configure.in 'snippets' should help anyone wanting to try it out
AC_CHECK_HEADER(GL/glut.h, AC_DEFINE(GLUT_IS_PRESENT))
AC_CHECK_HEADER(GL/freeglut.h, AC_DEFINE(FREEGLUT_IS_PRESENT))
dnl check for glut...or freeglut
AC_CHECK_LIB(freeglut, glutGetModifiers,,,$opengl_LIBS)
if test "x$ac_cv_lib_freeglut_glutGetModifiers" = "xno" ; then
dnl if no freeglut, check for Real GLUT
AC_CHECK_LIB(glut, glutGetModifiers,,,$opengl_LIBS)
fi
Then all the #include <GL/glut.h> lines become something like
# ifdef FREEGLUT_IS_PRESENT
# include <GL/freeglut.h>
# else
# include <GL/glut.h>
# endif
