You need to install GLUT in order to compile some of the demo projects.

I suppose you are using Linux, right? If so, then you should probably check google. type down your distro name + GLUT and you should get some info. I’ve used only Gentoo and with it, it was enough to execute “emerge glut” but the emerge command is Gentoo specific and I’m not really familiar with other linux distributions
