Answer 1

Unfortunately all of the instructions you followed were bad ideas. Copying debug DLLs into the system directory -- bad. Copying files into the Visual Studio include directory -- bad.

I don't use GLUT so I don't have a sequence of working steps, but really you should have made a subdirectory in your project with include, lib, and bin subdirectories, and arranged everything inside there. While Visual C++ 2008 had machine-wide directory settings, Visual C++ 2010 has per-project directory configuration.

As far as fixing the error you have now, you need to show us a block of GL/glu.h starting at line 225.
