Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This package contains all necessary include files and libraries needed to compile and link applications for the freeglut library. In addition, it also includes manual pages which describe all functions provided by the freeglut library. Freeglut is a completely open source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL Redbook. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, universally available, and highly portable. GLUT (and freeglut) allow the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts and also read the mouse, keyboard, and joystick functions on a wide range of platforms.
