For Lab setup We can go throuh the following Link
sudo apt install g++ freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
sudo apt install libxmu-dev libxi-dev
Open Codeblocks, go to settings > Global Variables.
type freeglut, press ok and setup the rest like this:
Go to /usr/share/codeblocks/templates, create a file by following command:
nano freeglut.cbp
the file freeglut.cbp and put the following code there:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<CodeBlocks_project_file>
<FileVersion major="1" minor="4" />
<Project>
<Option title="freeglut" />
<Option pch_mode="0" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />
<Build>
<Target title="default">
<Option output="freeglut.exe" />
<Option type="0" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />
<Option includeInTargetAll="1" />
</Target>
</Build>
<Compiler>
<Add directory="$(#freeglut.include)" />
</Compiler>
<Linker>
<Add library="freeglut" />
<Add library="glu32" />
<Add library="opengl32" />
<Add library="winmm" />
<Add library="gdi32" />
<Add library="user32" />
<Add library="kernel32" />
<Add directory="$(#freeglut.lib)" />
</Linker>
<Unit filename="main.cpp">
<Option compilerVar="CPP" />
<Option target="default" />
</Unit>
</Project>
</CodeBlocks_project_file>
Now go to the following directory: /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/
sudo mkdir freeglut
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut
You will find another directory named glut in wizard. Copy all the contents and paste it on the newly created freeglut directory.
Now type the following command on terminal:
/usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard: sudo cp -r glut freeglut
/usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut/glut: sudo cp -r files logo.png wizard.png wizard.script ../
/usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut: sudo rm -rf glut
/usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut: sudo rm wizard.script
/usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut: sudo nano wizard.script
Now in wizard.script file paste the following code:

After pasting all the codes type cntrl+s and cntrl+x
Now on /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard directory, there is a script named config.script and add the following line at the end of the file:
RegisterWizard(wizProject, _T("freeglut"), _T("FreeGLUT project"), _T("2D/3D Graphics"));
Now go to following Link
-
Copy the contents of the extracted folder and paste it on the /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut directory
-
Open Codeblocks. Go to File > New > Projects and this dialog should be showing with Freeglut Project:
-
Give a name of the project as you see fit.
-
Then, specify the location where the Freeglut is: /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/freeglut
-
Go to sources, there should be a main.cpp file for test running
-
Build and Run!
Type the following command for an error:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev
Check weather you can see this pic after running main.cpp file:
