GLUT is dead upstream for almost three years now ( https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/  ) and it makes sense to replace GLUT with FreeGLUT .
Some of the reasons to replace with FreeGLUT are listed here :

Also, current mesa-glut recipe does not generate GLUT library. I tested this when I enabled GLUT in mesa-demos.

I discussed this issue with Otavio and he suggested to replace GLUT with FreeGLUT and upgrade mesa-demos to 8.3.

You might want to CC oe-devel too, as mesa-glut is part of meta-oe.

I'm surprised that mesa-glut doesn't build the glut library, but I have no interest in glut so you can do whatever you want in my opinion. :)

[ CC ing oe-devel ]

Thank you for your comments. I will send patches for FreeGLUT.

Thanks,
Neena
