[Dev-C++] Usability of vfw.h?

[Fierytycoon <fie...@ya...>]

Hello,

Within the Mingw library, I do not seem to be able to find the header file vfw.h. Does anyone know where I can obtain it? In addition, even if I do manage to get a hold of it, would Dev C++ be able to compile projects using the header file? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

Sometime ago, I was working on a video capture application based on a =
sample application in the MSDN CD. The sample compiles and links without =
any problems with Visual C++.

In addition to vfw.h, other relevant header files are: mmreg.h and =
mmsystem.h.=20

The required libs are:
msacm32.lib vfw32.lib winmm.lib shell32.lib

I haven't ported it to Dev-C++ though.

Regards,
Yeoh

all you have to do is copy it to the include directory("wherever Dev-c++ is=
=20
installed\include") and put
#include <vfw.h>
some where in your source code(I suggest somewhere near the top)

As for the header I did a search on google and I am guessing you are doing=
=20
something with
graphics. I found a refrence to it in a openGL tutorial
http://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorials/lesson36.asp
I also have Visual C++ 6.0 Professional installed and sure enough it was=20
there. It is for video for windows
if you want me to send you the file just ask(it is over 100Kb I don't think=
=20
the other people on this list
would appreciate my sending it over the list). Also I pretty sure it relies=
=20
on some libraries that are visual
C++ specific.
