I dont think you can get rid of it, but I only used glut for about 2 minutes before I decided it sucked.

You may want to consider SDL. Go to www.libsdl.org.

There are a couple of ways to get rid of it. One of them is to add a command-line parameter to the compiler options. This way is documented in the faq. (Check the drop down box with the Quick Links for the faq.)

Another way is by using the API function FreeConsole.

From MSDN Library:

Header: Declared in Wincon.h; include Windows.h.
