Joachim,
Check out Jerry van Dijk's (often seen in this newsgroup) home page:
http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk
His site is a wonderful reference and he has a section with a glut download
link, and how to use it (generally for gnat, but portable enough I think for
OA).  It uses the Win32ada bindings and using the notes on his page I was
able to install the Win32ada and glut bindings and create OpenGL apps on my
NT machine with the gnat compiler and AdaGIDE tool.
