Comment (by Rydgel):

 Replying to [comment:10 trommler]:
 > On my Linux box `glutBitmap8By13` is defined in `libglut.so`. Could you
 check if `_glutBitmap8By13` is defined in the GLUT framework on Mac OS.
 Perhaps another Framework defines that symbol and thus needs to be linked
 too. In Mach-O symbols are not reexported by default (we discussed that in
 #10322). This is different from ELF.


 It is defined by the GLUT Framework, see:
