It’s a matter of linking. If you’re using an IDE like Dev C++ you have to go to Project->Project Options->Parameters and in the area named Linker you have to write

-lopengl32
-lglu32
-lglut32

In Visual C++ it’s something similar.
The point is: it’s not enough you put <GL\glut.h> or the other headers in your source code. You also have to say to the linker that your program needs to be linked to these libraries.
