Re: [Freeglut-developer] Linking problems on Windows

[Fay J. F Dr C. U. AFSEO/SK <joh...@eg...>]

I just found why I didn't get an error ... In "freeglut_std.h" on lines
85-93 we find some pragmas that are defined only for "_MSC_VER" or
__WATCOMC__" and not for "_WIN32_WCE".  These pragmas pull in the libraries
"winmm.lib", "user32.lib", "gdi32.lib", "opengl32.lib", and "glu32.lib".

Should we add some more conditions under which to bring these libraries in
automatically?  Or should we try taking them out?

Andreas,

	Interestingly, I just took the "gdi32.lib" reference out of my list
of libraries (in the MSVC project settings) for the Callback Maker demo--I
couldn't find a "winmm.lib" in the list at all--and it compiled and linked
beautifully.  Can you tell me what link errors you got?

I compiled freeglut with -DFREEGLUT_STATIC. But I missed to add this define
to my example. Now it works (nearly). There's still the same problem as with
(real) GLUT. I need to link against -lfreeglut -lglu32
-lopengl32 -lwinmm -lgdi32 in exact this order to get no unresolved symbols.
I tried to compile freeglut with -lwinmm and -lgdi32 to avoid this, but no
change.

I don't like linking all my apps to -lwinmm and -lgdi32. This troubles all
my autotool scripts that work for Linux. So why is this needed on windows
and how could I avoid it?

regards
Andreas
