Download

In order to run GLUT programs, you will need to install GLUT software as prescribed in the Installation Instructions below.

• Download precompiled GLUT binaries for Solaris Operating Environment, SPARC Platform Edition (16.5 MB). Save the GLUT download file to a local directory, then unzip and untar the downloaded file.
  
  

  % gunzip -c glut*.tar.gz | tar xvpf -

• Download image datafile distribution (3.8 MB) into the 'sparc_solaris' subdirectory, then unzip and untar in the downloaded file.
  
  

  % cd sparc_solaris
% gunzip -c glut_data-3.7.tar.gz | tar xvpf -

• Optionally remove the glut*.tar.gz file to save space

• To compile GLUT from the original GLUT source distribution using Sun ONE Studio's C compiler:
  
  

  % cd my_glut_directory
% mkmkfiles.imake
% make -i

• To compile an GLUT example using gcc, the makefiles being used have to be modified. Replace cc references with gcc and remove compile flags -xF, -Wa and -cg92. Example output compiling demo opengl_logo:
  
  

  % cd sparc_solaris/glut-3.7/progs/demos/opengl_logo
% rm *.o; make
gcc -O -DSYSV -DSVR4 -I../../.././include -I/include -I/include -I/include -DSVR4 -DSYSV -c opengl_logo.c
gcc -O -DSYSV -DSVR4 -I../../.././include -I/include -I/include -I/include -DSVR4 -DSYSV -c def_logo.c
rm -f opengl_logo
gcc -o opengl_logo opengl_logo.o def_logo.o -O -DSYSV -DSVR4 -R:/usr/openwin/lib -L/lib ../../.././lib/glut/libglut.a -L/lib -lGLU -L/lib -lGL -L -ldga -lXmu -z nodefs -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lsocket -lnsl
