No idea about the ofAppGlutWindow

I’ve seen there was a complete defination of ofAppGlutWindow, but the question is why in ofAppRunner.cpp

void ofSetupOpenGL(int w, int h, int screenMode){
#ifdef TARGET_NODISPLAY
	window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppNoWindow());
#elif defined(TARGET_OF_IOS)
	window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppiOSWindow());
#elif defined(TARGET_ANDROID)
	window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppAndroidWindow());
#elif defined(TARGET_RASPBERRY_PI)
	window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppEGLWindow());
#else
	window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppGLFWWindow());
#endif

ofSetupOpenGL(window,w,h,screenMode);}

The glutWindow was not used…That made me puzzled

And when I change the ofAppGLFW to ofAppGlutWindow , i found it could work too ( except anti-aliasing )

window = ofPtr<ofAppBaseWindow>(new ofAppGlutWindow());

I’v got no idea about this.Perhaps it was perpared for the follow-up version?

PS:I’m not good at English……

ofAppGlutWindow is what was previously used before ofAppGLFWWindow “replaced” it

Sorry to bring back this old topic.
ofAppGlutWindow is not used unless one creates it manually.
GLUT is linked as a dll, so if we don-t use it we can just delete it from export folder.
Question is, is GLU build into the binary? or is it in the same dll as glut?
