I know this is old, but I hit same problem and solved it like below,
putting this here for next guy Smile

give your class a ctor in which you do the following to let
glut initialize properly:

OpenGLUT2::OpenGLUT2()
{
	char *myargv[1];
	int myargc=1;
	myargv [0]=strdup(GetExeTitle().ToStd().c_str());
	glutInit(&myargc, myargv);
	//...whatever else you need in the ctor...
}

Fake parameters does not work - it must either be an exact copy of
what was passed to main, or at least supply correct data as above.
