GLUT/Tk Application Development

For each GLUT/Tk application:

You must include the modified GLUT definitions in your source code, e.g.
```
  #include <GL/glut.h>
```

Compile using the modified GLUT library. See suggestions in the installation instructions about where to locate the header and library files, glut.h and libglut.a. As an example, here are the compilation commands that worked under IRIX:

set GLUTTK = /home/grfx/newglut/glut-3.7
cc -o platonics.oglx -I$GLUTTK/include                                 \
  -xansi -Olimit 1300 -32 -O2 platonics.c $GLUTTK/lib/glut/libglut.a   \
  -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -nostdlib -L/usr/lib -lm

In your Tk script, include the Tcl package for GLUT/Tk, i.e.,
```
  package require gluttk
```
Also, you may want to include the utility routine: enable_glut_to_tk in your Tcl script. You should now be able to invoke the new Tcl commands.
