如何为Visual Studio 2015永久安装GLUT？

Question

Is there anyway to permanently install GLUT for visual studio 2015? I tried searching for it and it has showed some steps to add the GLUT libs and dlls in the project. Well this way does work but as far as I've noticed I have to do all the steps all over again if I create a new project and do code in that which is definitely not efficient. So is there anyway to permanently include GLUT files in visual studio 2015?

Answer 1

也许你可以在你的vs中创建一个属性表，然后填写libs，dll和include路径并保存它，你可以在下次创建一个新项目时导入它。

Answer 2

This might be a bit late but I'm going to share what worked for me.

1. Download the pre-compiled GLUT binaries from here and extract it anywhere you want
2. Find and cd into your VS 2015 path, for me it was C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC
3. From extracted GLUT folder copy all *.lib files to lib folder on your path, all *.h files to your include folder and *.dll to bin folder

Now your Visual Studio 2015 project should recognize when you add GLUT include s.
