FindGLUT — CMake 4.3.0 Documentation

# FindGLUT

Finds the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library, which provides a simple API for creating windows, handling input, and managing events in OpenGL applications:

    find_package(GLUT [...])

## Imported Targets

This module provides the following Imported Targets:

`GLUT::GLUT`

  Added in version 3.1.

  Target encapsulating the GLUT usage requirements, available if GLUT is found.

## Result Variables

This module defines the following variables:

`GLUT_FOUND`

  Boolean indicating whether GLUT was found.

`GLUT_INCLUDE_DIRS`

  Added in version 3.23.

  Include directories needed to use GLUT. Starting with CMake 3.23, this variable is intended to be used in target usage requirements instead of the cache variable `GLUT_INCLUDE_DIR`, which is intended for finding GLUT.

`GLUT_LIBRARIES`

  List of libraries needed to link against for using GLUT.

## Cache Variables

This module may set the following cache variables depending on platform. These variables may optionally be set to help this module find the correct files, but should not be used as result variables:

`GLUT_INCLUDE_DIR`

  The full path to the directory containing `GL/glut.h` (without the `GL/`).

`GLUT_glut_LIBRARY`

  The full path to the `glut` library.

`GLUT_Xi_LIBRARY`

  The full path to the dependent `Xi` (X Input Device Extension) library on some systems.

`GLUT_Xmu_LIBRARY`

  The full path to the dependent `Xmu` (X Miscellaneous Utilities) library on some systems.

## Examples

Finding GLUT and linking it to a project target:

    find_package(GLUT)
    target_link_libraries(project_target PRIVATE GLUT::GLUT)
