## Example

	package main

	import (

		"github.com/vbsw/glut"

	)

	func main() {

		glut.Init()

		glut.InitDisplayMode(glut.SINGLE | glut.RGBA)

		glut.InitWindowSize(640, 480)

		glut.CreateWindow("Testing GLUT binding for Go");

		glut.ReshapeFunc(reshape)

		glut.DisplayFunc(display)

		glut.KeyboardFunc(keyboard)

		glut.MainLoop()

	}

	func reshape(width, height int) {

		println("reshape")

	}

	func display() {

		println("display")

	}

	func keyboard(key uint8, x, y int) {

		if key==27 { // escape

			glut.DestroyWindow(glut.GetWindow())

		} else {

			if (glut.GetModifiers() & glut.ACTIVE_CTRL) > 0 {

				println("key pressed: ctrl +", key)

			} else {

				println("key pressed:", key)

			}

		}

	}

## Installation

### Linux

Install the programming language [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) and

the source code management system [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).

You also need GCC, the C standard library development package and the GLUT development package. Install them for example with

        $ sudo apt-get install git gcc libc6-dev freeglut3-dev

Get this project with

	$ go get github.com/vbsw/glut

or update your local copy with

	$ go get -u github.com/vbsw/glut

or compile it with

	$ go install github.com/vbsw/glut

### Windows

Install the programming language [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install).

Install [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).

Get this project with (run this preferably from the Git Bash)

	$ go get github.com/vbsw/glut

or update your local copy with

	$ go get -u github.com/vbsw/glut

Cgo needs another compiler to compile c files. On a 64 bit system a 64 bit compiler is needed. I tried it with the gcc. MinGW provides only 32 bit binaries. So go to  to download 64 bit gcc binaries. Install it.

Then download freeglut from  and unpack it for example to

	C:/Users/Alice/Downloads/freeglut

Then open the file github.com/vbsw/glut/glut.go and change the first line from

	// #cgo LDFLAGS: -lGL -lGLU -lglut

	// #include 

	// #include 

	// #include "gofunctions.h"

to

	// #cgo CFLAGS: -IC:/Users/Alice/Downloads/freeglut/include

	// #cgo LDFLAGS: -LC:/Users/Alice/Downloads/freeglut/bin/x64 -l:freeglut.dll

	// #include 

	// #include 

	// #include "gofunctions.h"

To compile run

	$ go install github.com/vbsw/glut
