(C++ Builder) How do I install GLUT?

Search Google on 'download GLUT'. My first hit was http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html.
Extract the files. The files you will need are

glut.h
glut32.dll
glut32.lib

Copy the file glut.h to /Borland/CBuilder6/Include/GL.
Copy the file glut32.dll to C:/Windows/System.
Copy the file glut32.lib to /Borland/CBuilder6/Lib.

[Linker Error] '[MyFolder]\BORLAND\CBUILDER6\LIB\GLUT32.LIB' contains invalid OMF record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF)

The supplied glut32.lib was a Microsoft Visual C++ version. You need to create one that is Borland compatible.

You can create a Borland compatible glut32.lib file from glut32.dll or glut32.def.

Use the DOS command prompt to do so. Type the code below in the command prompt (in the same directory as glut32.dll).

IMPLIB glut32.lib glut32.dll

If this does not work, use glut32.def file:

IMPLIB glut32.lib glut32.def

[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'GLU32.LIB'

?Install GLU.
