The correct order is (as written in /usr/doc/opengl-1.1.0/README.txt):
-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32

Your main is wrong. A minimalist GLUT program is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#include 
<GL/glut.h>

void display_func()
{
/* Do some drawing here */
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutCreateWindow("Hello GLUT!");
glutDisplayFunc(display_func);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
