Visual C++ with OpenGL: Failing to use GLUT

Question

I am trying to run a C project in Visual Studio 2013, with GLUT.

After some readings over the web, I tried with freeglut, but I get the following error when trying to run my project:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'freeglutd.lib'

Can anyone explain how to use GLUT in Visual Studio?

Goto Configuration Properties>Linker>Input

Add freeglutd.lib in Additional Dependencies Thats it! Make sure you are using same calling conversion, which used to built the lib. i.e either stdcall or cdecl.
