for a while now i've wanted to install glut, since it doesnt come with the nvidia drivers. so i downloaded glut 3.7 from opengl.org and compiled it.

i followed everything from linux/README and built it without errors. when when i reached the step where i had to links some lib files, i found a brutal error.

the file libglut.so.3.7 that i had to link was missing. the make command didnt display any errors during the build, but the only thing that got built was libglut.a !?!. so how am i supposed to get the actual shared object file, and what do i do with this libglut.a file?
