glaux substitute in mac - macos

Question

I'm getting started with OpenGL. I need to do a project using glaux.h. My problem is that I'm running Mac OS X Lion, so I cannot use glaux.
I was searching on the web and I found some codes that try to replace glaux. Codes were fine, but they use Windows Api variables. So obviously I can't use them. Here is the code that I need to read using glaux:
#include <stdio.h> // Header File For Standard Input/Output
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include "bmp.h"
#include <string.h>
const int W_WIDTH = 500; // PreselecciÛn del ancho de la ventana
const int W_HEIGHT = 500; // PreselecciÛn del alto de la ventana
bool keys[256]; // Array Used For The Keyboard Routine
bool active=1; // Window Active Flag Set To TRUE By Default
bool fullscreen=TRUE; // Fullscreen Flag Set To Fullscreen Mode By Default
bool fullscreen=0; // Fullscreen Flag Set To Fullscreen Mode By Default
GLuint texture[1]; // Storage For 1 Texture
GLuint box; // Storage For The Box Display List
GLuint top; // Storage For The Top Display List
GLuint xloop; // Loop For X Axis
GLuint yloop; // Loop For Y Axis

Now that GLKit is available on OS X, I suggest you give that a look. Erik Buck's book Learning OpenGL ES for iOS is written around that framework, with an iOS focus, but he has a blog post and sample project showing a port to OS X 10.8.
Another idea, if you're allowed to step back from OpenGL, is to use SceneKit. It's a 10.8 only framework, not available on any platform other than Mac. It exposes most of the same controls that you have in OpenGL, but it is fundamentally an Objective-C, object-based design, and integrates well with Core Animation. Documentation is sparse but it's pretty easy to get things running. I found it much easier to wrap my brain around SceneKit than around OpenGL. Best intro is the WWDC 2012 video.
