you need to install it. It does not comes with windows or VC6.

download it from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html

don’t forget to link your project with glut32.lib

VC++ is not shipped with glut, you have to download it. Just as the error say’s the compiler can not file that file, since it is not installed.

The GLUT for windows website is run by Nate Robins.

I have a link to his site on my website.

Go there and download the glut files and install them.

Are you sure that you are placing glut.h in the $VC6DIR/include/gl/ directory? (the $VC6DIR just means that replace it with whatever the path is to your vc6 folder. You may have glut32.dll placed, but make sure that the glut.h is in that folder. You MAY be putting it in the include/ directory instead of the include/gl/ directory.
