I'm trying to generate the lib files for freeglut library. I've installed cygwin and according to README file that comes with the library, 

Building and Installing the Libraries with Cygwin
=================================================

To build "freeglut" under Cygwin, you have two choices:

- You can build a normal Cygwin library, which depends on Cygwin's X11
  libraries. To do this, you can just use the normal autotools incantation:
      ./configure && make install

- Alternatively, you can build a DLL which does not depend on X11 and links
  against the opengl32 DLL. To do this, configure need a few more flags:
      ./configure CPPFLAGS=-mno-cygwin LDFLAGS=-mno-cygwin --without-x && make install


If you don't have MSVC, Open Watcom or Cygwin
=============================================

But If I run ./configure, I got this error 

$ ./configure CPPFLAGS=-mno-cygwin LDFLAGS=-mno-cygwin --without-x && make install
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Is there something I need to install in order to solve this issue? The contents of the folder doesn't have configure. These are the files in the folder

If you need freeglut, you need to install the cygwin package libglut-devel

Looking inside setup.ini you will find its description:

libglut-devel
sdesc: "OpenGL Utility Toolkit library"
ldesc: "freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and highly portable. GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions."
