If you installed the MesaDemos/MesaLib package, then you have already installed GLUT 3.7 since it is included with MesaDemos. However, you may be interested in installing the GLUT manpages and you can skip right to the "Install GLUT manual pages", below ...
Installing GLUT is a bit tricky. I'm not too familiar with imake, the program that it uses to manage the Makefiles, and didn't quite see how to get GLUT to install to where I wanted it (/usr/lib, but MesaDemos will do this without any trouble though). It can be done manually anyhow:
cd /usr/src
tar -xvzf glut-3.7.tar.gz
cd glut-3.7
Read the file: README.linux
cd linux
READ the file: README
cp Glut.cf ..
cd ..
Edit Glut.cf: remove any Mesa references.
Replace any -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU with -lGL -lGLU if needed.
In particular, replace:
OPENGL = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGL.so
GLU = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGLU.so
with:
OPENGL = -lGL
GLU = -lGLU
./mkmkfiles.imake
cd lib/glut
cp /usr/src/glut-3.7/linux/Makefile .
Edit the Makefile: remove any Mesa references.
Replace any -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU with -lGL -lGLU if needed.
In particular, replace:
OPENGL = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGL.so
GLU = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGLU.so
with:
OPENGL = -lGL
GLU = -lGLU

# test compiling some demos
# take a look at which libraries have to be linked (-lX11 ...) in
# the Makefiles. Qt's tmake program available at www.troll.no
# is a quick way to make a Makefile but you have to edit it
# and add the -l needed.
