[Freeglut-developer] Testing: VS 2005

[Paul M. <pm...@sk...>]

As of rev 779, everything is building and running well, with some notes as
follows:

* Sven's smooth_opengl3x example is now part of the demos .dsw file, and
when I attempt to add it, Visual Studio complains that the corresponding
.dsp is corrupt. Sven, if you don't have VC6, I could take a look at this
and attempt to resolve the issue here.

* I get a lot of compiler warnings, all of which are 4996, like so:
    warning C4996: 'sprintf': This function or variable may be unsafe.
Consider using sprintf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use
_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

There are over a dozen such warnings. We could leave them there or attempt
to disable them.

If we want to disable them, there are two ways to do it: 1) follow the
instructions given in the warning, which looks like it would just be a
project file setting, or 2) my guy instinct would be to use a #pragma, but
we'd need to wrap it in a #ifdef so that only the MSVS compilers see it
(something more than just "#ifdef _WIN32", presumably).

* I don't really care for the state my desktop is left in after I run the
"one" demo, which changes my screen resolution to something like 640x480x16,
and correspondingly rearranges and resizes all my open windows. Is there
plans to retire this functionality, or at least retire the demo? I'm kind of
anal retentive about how my desktop is laid out, and don't care to have
software rearrange it. :-)

(1)  Make sure everything builds, both in the libraries (DLL and static,
debug and release) and in the demo programs.

(2)  Make sure all the demo programs run, at least with the static library.

(3)  I also have the library of GLUT demo programs that I have implemented
for "freeglut".  If you are interested I can try and get them to you; going
through the Air Force firewall will be a bit problematic, though.

I can help out with VS 2005 testing. Is there a formal test suite in the
repo that I should run?
