> If you installed the MesaDemos/MesaLib package, then you
have already installed GLUT 3.7 since it is included with MesaDemos.
However, you may be interested in installing the GLUT manpages and you
can skip right to the "Install GLUT manual pages", below ...

Edit Glut.cf: remove any Mesa references.
Replace any -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU with -lGL -lGLU if needed.
In particular, replace:
OPENGL = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGL.so
GLU = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGLU.so
with:
OPENGL = -lGL
GLU = -lGLU

Edit the Makefile: remove any Mesa references.
Replace any -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU with -lGL -lGLU if needed.
In particular, replace:
