GLUT + OpenGL multisampling anti aliasing (MSAA) - c++

Question

I make OpenGL application that draw cube.
I want to add anti aliasing but have no success.
Maybe someone can help (User Xcode 6.1.1, GLUT, OpenGL) ?
I need create antialiasing without ay external libraries.
Result of code below.
GLfloat xRotated, yRotated, zRotated; void init(void){
glClearColor(0,0,0,0);
glEnable (GL_DEPTH_TEST);
// Turn on antialiasing, and give hint to do the best
// job possible.
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glEnable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH);
glHint(GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_LINEAR);
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glHint(GL_LINE_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_LINEAR);
glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH);
glHint(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_LINEAR);
glEnable(GL_MULTISAMPLE); } void DrawCube(void) {
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
// clear the drawing buffer.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0,0.0,-10.5);
glRotatef(xRotated,1.0,0.0,0.0);
// rotation about Y axis
glRotatef(yRotated,0.0,1.0,0.0);
// rotation about Z axis
glRotatef(zRotated,0.0,0.0,1.0);
glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Draw The Cube Using quads
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f); // Color Blue
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f); // Top Right Of The Quad (Top)
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f); // Top Left Of The Quad (Top)

GLUT lacks the setting of the number of samples. Freeglut does. To enable it, use
glutSetOption(GLUT_MULTISAMPLE, 8);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_MULTISAMPLE);
And remember to glEnable it
void enableMultisample(int msaa)
{
if (msaa)
{
glEnable(GL_MULTISAMPLE);
glHint(GL_MULTISAMPLE_FILTER_HINT_NV, GL_NICEST);
// detect current settings
GLint iMultiSample = 0;
GLint iNumSamples = 0;
glGetIntegerv(GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS, &iMultiSample);
glGetIntegerv(GL_SAMPLES, &iNumSamples);
printf("MSAA on, GL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS = %d, GL_SAMPLES = %d\n", iMultiSample, iNumSamples);
}
else
{
glDisable(GL_MULTISAMPLE);
printf("MSAA off\n");
}
}
