Ruby1.7.3 win [glut32.dll missing?]

ruby-talk

hi,

I installed ruby1.7.3 using the windows installer provided at
sourceforge. i didn’t upgrade from 1.6.8.
All the GL samples won’t run because the glut32 library is missing.

Is it missing on purpose? Should we install GLUT on our own?

has anyone else seen this problem?

By coincidence yes - I just tried this a few days ago on 1.7.3 and got the
same error. I reckon you should just go get the dll’s from somewhere.

That said - my impression is that there are better alternatives than glut -
but obviously this won’t work with files in the Ruby OpenGL directory.

In OCaml there has recently been added a new OpenGL interface which relies
on GLFW if I rember correctly.

A google search for “glut32.dll” yields the answer :wink:
