Wiki:

GLUT stands for [Open]GL Utility Toolkit is a utility library for OpenGL applications to put the platform-dependent details (e.g. creating windows and responding to mouse events and key presses) under one hood, in an easy and portable way.

The OpenGL Utility Toolkit is a kind of library of utilities for OpenGL programs, which primarily perform system-level I/O with the host operating system. Functions performed include window definition, window control, and monitoring of keyboard and mouse input. Routines for drawing a number of geometric primitives are also provided.

The original GLUT has been unsupported for 20 years (see GLUT - The OpenGL Utility Toolkit), but there exists a current, maintained alternative named FreeGLUT.

Tag usage:

The tag glut can be used for OpenGL Utility Toolkit related programming problems. The tag glut can be used for installation related problems of GLUT packages.
