Reini,
 
The correct argument to link with /usr/bin/cygglut-3.dll is -lglut , not
-lglut32 , as the libglut-devel package supplies /usr/lib/libglut.a ,
not /usr/lib/libglut32.a .
 
I asked the maintainer of the w32api package to remove the file
/usr/lib/w32api/libglut32.a , as it is hidden by /usr/lib/libglut.a
for Cygwin programs, although it is visible for MinGW (aka -mno-cygwin)
programs.
