==================================
|
||
|
|
For ancient 16bit compatibility, windef.h (included through windows.h in
|
||
|
|
freeglut_std.h) defines near and far. Its best to avoid using variables
|
||
|
|
with these names in your own program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing the Libraries with MSVC
|
||
|
|
==================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install "freeglut" on your system so that your other projects will see it,
|
||
|
|
you will need to copy various files to various locations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The header files "freeglut.h", "freeglut_ext.h", "freeglut_std.h", and
|
||
|
|
"glut.h" (distributed in the directory "freeglut\freeglut\include\GL")
|
||
|
|
need to be copied to a "GL" directory under the MSVC include directory.
|
||
|
|
The MSVC include directory generally has a path similar to
|
||
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include"
|
||
|
|
The "GL" subdirectory under that will probably already have the header
|
||
|
|
files "gl.h", "glaux.h", and "glu.h".
|
||
|
|
- The library file "freeglut.lib" or "freeglut_static.lib" (from the
|
||
|
|
corresponding debug or release directory) needs to be copied into the
|
||
|
|
MSVC library directory. This usually has a path similar to:
|
||
|
|
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib" - x86 32 bits LIB's
|
||
|
|
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib" - x64 32 bits LIB's
|
||
|
|
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\x64" - x64 64 bits LIB's
|
||
|
|
Note that there is no "GL" subdirectory here. This directory should
|
||
|
|
already have the files "opengl32.lib", "glu32.lib", and "glaux.lib".
|
||
|
|
- If you are using the DLL version of "freeglut", the file "freeglut.dll"
|
||
|
|
needs to be copied from the Debug or the Release directory into the
|
||
|
|
DLL directory. This usually has a path similar to
|
||
|
|
"%SystemRoot%\System32\" - x86 32 bits DLL's
|
||
|
|
"%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\" - x64 32 bits DLL's
|
||
|
|
"%SystemRoot%\System32\" - x64 64 bits DLL's
|
||
|
|
and will probably already have the files "opengl32.dll" and "glu32.dll".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building and Installing the Libraries with Open Watcom
|
||
|
|
======================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start a command prompt and change directory to the freeglut installation
|
||
|
|
directory. Type "wmake -f Makefile.wat all" to build the DLL and static
|
||
|
|
libraries in both debug and release versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install "freeglut" on your system so that your other projects will see it,
|
||
|
|
you will need to copy various files to various locations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The header files "freeglut.h", "freeglut_ext.h", "freeglut_std.h", and
|
||
|
|
"glut.h" (distributed in the directory "freeglut\freeglut\include\GL")
|
||
|
|
need to be copied to a "GL" directory under the Open Watcom 32-bit
|
||
|
|
Windows include directory. This usually has a path similar to
|
||
|
|
"C:\WATCOM\h\nt\GL"
|
||
|
|
- The library file "freeglut.lib" or "freeglut_static.lib" (from the
|
||
|
|
corresponding debug or release directory) needs to be copied into the
|
||
|
|
Open Watcom 32-bit Windows library directory. This usually has a path
|
||
|
|
similar to
|
||
|
|
"C:\WATCOM\lib386\nt"
|
||
|
|
- If you are using the DLL version of "freeglut", the file "freeglut.dll"
|
||
|
|
needs to be copied from the Debug or the Release directory into the
|
||
|
|
DLL directory. This usually has a path similar to
|
||
|
|
"C:\Windows\System32"
|
||
|
|
and will probably already have the files "opengl32.dll" and "glu32.dll".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike the *nix release, the library names are NOT automatic replacements for
|
||
|
|
the GLUT library names. You may rename them manually if you wish, but this is
|
||
|
|
not necessary as the header file includes a pragma telling the compiler which
|
||
|
|
library file to look for.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building and Installing the Libraries with Cygwin
|
||
|
|
=================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build "freeglut" under Cygwin, you have two choices:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You can build a normal Cygwin library, which depends on Cygwin's X11
|
||
|
|
libraries. To do this, you can just use the normal autotools incantation:
|
||
|
|
./configure && make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Alternatively, you can build a DLL which does not depend on X11 and links
|
||
|
|
against the opengl32 DLL. To do this, configure need a few more flags:
|
||
|
|
./configure CPPFLAGS=-mno-cygwin LDFLAGS=-mno-cygwin --without-x && make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have MSVC, Open Watcom or Cygwin
|
||
|
|

The "freeglut" developers' community discussed the possibility of distributing
|
||
|
|
binaries and decided against it. If you need Windows library files, please
|
||
|
|
contact John F. Fay at <john.fay@eglin.af.mil> or put a request on the
|
||
|
|
"freeglut" developers' mailing list <freeglut-developer@lists.sourceforge.net>.
