freeglut applications with MinGW and MSVC. Visual Studio
First: "Include Directories" and "Library Directories" settings under "VC++ Directories", and the "Environment" setting under "Debugging" may need to be updated if your GLUT header files, import libraries, and DLLs are in a different location. Secondly, the "Additional Dependencies" under "Linker" -> "Input" may need to be changed if you're not using freeglut. For example, if you're using GLUT for Win32, change "freeglut.lib" to "glut32.lib".
