Glut, slack 64bit, Imake.tmpl: No such file error
Slackware 64 current.
I'm trying to compile glut 3.7, and when I run mkmkfiles.imake I get:
Imakefile.c:34:0: fatal error: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory
The file is there, but it is in /usr/lib64/X11/config, not /usr/lib/X11/config. I'm wondering if I'm looking at a 32 bit versus 64 bit compatibility problem?
I have Alien Bob's multilib installed, so the problem would not be the lack of this.
Has anyone used freeGlut or openGlut? I could easily be persuaded to try those instead of Glut, seeing as how Glut is a bit old.

Actually it did, but I got an error in a later compilation stage. That struck me as a very wrong way to go about doing this, but I tried it just to see what would happen. As others have said, glut is antique. I actually got a program to compile and run with openglut and glui, though it took some contortions to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work with freeglut, but maybe I'll try the slackbuilds version and see what happens. I think openglut has also been abandoned.
