    I cant find glut in any of the fedora repos so you should download it straight from https://github.com/markkilgard/glut. Also theres a project called freeglut which is in the repos which u can download by just running `dnf install freeglut-devel` its basically a close enough re implementation of glut thats opensource.

    Look at what happened to GLUT. Because of the license that forbids modification (and the project being de-facto abandoned by its original author) people will generally choose to use FreeGLUT which has more permissive licensed, and the original GLUT is slowly being forgotten. (Different license requirements, but you get my point.)
