Re: Freeglut and c++ builder 2009

Mario,

        Hello and welcome to the "freeglut" community.  I have no
experience with c++ builder 2009 so I can't speak with assurance on the
subject.  If it is a descendant of Visual Studio 6, though, it ought to
be able to upgrade the workspace and project files.

        Failing that, I would simply copy the source code files into a
single directory (as they presently are, in the "src" directory) and try
compiling them.

        I am interested in finding out why your project couldn't link
using vs2005.  What sort of error messages did you get?

Subject: Freeglut and c++ builder 2009

Dear sir,
 
I have recently been assigned to port a project over from vc 6.0 +
opengl. This is a very old project from 1998 that uses GLUT 3.7.6. I'm
new to openGL and i've recently purchased the openGL super bible edition
4 which when i compile it says it cant link freeglut_static when i use
vs2005.
 
I will be using c++ builder 2009. And i want to stop using GLUT and move
over to freeglut. Could you please advise me on what i should do to get
freeglut working in this version of c++ builder. Do i have to just copy
the files into the include folders and such?
 
I'd be very greatfull for any help.
 
Regards,
Mario.

C++ Builder is a RAD tool (IDE) based on C++ from borland. So it's got
nothing to do with visual studio, and it has it's own project format.
