installing glui 2.35 for dev-c++

[st_claire]

Hi,

How do I go about installing glui 2.35 on dev-c++? I installed 2.2 easily using the devpack, but not sure what to do for 2.35.

I'm using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2 and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Thanks.

Found them online. Thanks.

Did you download a binary, or source?

A source. It was the only option available.

Then you are going to have to build it.

For exercises like this (among other things), I keep a seperate installation
of MinGW/MSYS available on my machines, so I can do the classic Unix

./configure
make

dance, followed by copying the headers and libraries into my Dev include
and lib (and bin if there is a dll build) folders.

So how can I go about building it? I tried running the vc++ file, and it built glui32.lib, but I think I need a .a file, not a .lib file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

here are the instructions to compile and install glui from dev-cpp using
tarball from http://glui.sourceforge.net/
download and unzip glui-2.35.tgz

cd glui-2.35
cd glui-2.35\src\devcpp

move C:\Dev-Cpp\include\GL\glui.h to C:\Dev-Cpp\include\GL\glui_bak.h otherwise the comiler will ty to use the previously installed vesion of the header file
copy glui-2.35\src\include\GL\glui.h C:\Dev-Cpp\include\GL

double click "glui.dev"
compile

you may have to manually add a few files to the project like
"glui_string.cpp" and any others that it complains about.

compile again if necessary

Then manually copy library and header as follows

copy glui-2.35\src\devcpp\libglui.a C:\Dev-Cpp\lib
copy glui-2.35\src\include\GL\glui.h C:\Dev-Cpp\include\GL

Now you should have latest version of glui installed and compiled for
your machine

Thanks very much.

Sorry, my mistake. It didn't work fully yet. Where do I find stdinc.h and glui_window.cpp?
