MinGW FreeGLUT & OpenAL Installer

---

This script installs FreeGLUT and/or OpenAL headers and libraries into your MinGW environment.

REQUIREMENTS:

---

• MinGW with g++ must be installed and available in your system PATH.
• Place this script in a folder containing the following structure:

freeglut\
        ├── include\GL\*.h
        ├── lib\x64\*.a           (for 64-bit)
        ├── lib\.\*.a             (for 32-bit)
        └── bin\x64\*.dll         (for 64-bit)

    OpenAL\
        ├── include\AL\*.h
        ├── libs\Win64\*.a, *.lib (for 64-bit)
        ├── libs\Win32\*.a, *.lib (for 32-bit)
        └── oalinst.exe           (optional OpenAL installer)

USAGE:

---

• Right-click install.bat and select "Run as administrator" (or run from terminal with admin rights).

• Choose what you want to install:

[1] FreeGLUT only
    [2] OpenAL only
    [3] Both

• The script will:

• Detect your MinGW installation and architecture

• Copy relevant header and library files

• (If OpenAL is selected) silently run the OpenAL installer if available

NOTES:

• At the end of the script, a summary will show what succeeded or failed.
• If errors occur, check that source folders and files exist in the correct locations.
