Yes.

thanks.
that means it can prompt the linux style window when
compiling and running on it? (the same as MAC os)

Since I don't know anything about MacOS, I don't understand what you mean.

Glut is not actively maintained anymore, as far as I can tell.


GLFW is a better alternative, imo.

GLFW and SDL should both serve your needs. Each of them supports Win32, MacOS (9 and X) and UNIX/X.
