Re: [FreePV-dev] proposing a little modification to glut_platform.cpp

[Leon M. <den...@gm...>]

Hi Philippe,

let me introduce my self, I'm Leon Moctezuma and I'm currently developping
FreePV, I'm a student involved in Google Summer of Code and Pablo is
helpping me to add support to SPi-V xml files,  rencently Pablo and I worked
in adding a new bulding system, which uses  cmake, it's pretty simple, I
would say easier than autotools, it would be helpful if you can try it...
since it has not been tested in non-debian distributions. You will need to
get cmake and IIRC there are no new dependencies for freepv source in the
trunk directory.

When you get cmake, you will need to do the following in the trunk
directory:

philipped@madrivia/trunk$ ccmake .

(remember with double cc... space dot)

then you will press c key wich means configure, after this if everything
went right,
you should be able to see the paths to the dependecie libraries, if cmake
doesn't
find any library or header you can specify the path by pressing enter and
writting it
and when you are done press enter again. Then if you needed to specify the
any
path you will need to press c again and after this you should be able to see
[g] generate... press g and it will generate a make file... by the way you
can specify the
output direcectories for executables and libraries if you leave this paths
in blanks
the executable and libraries will be build in the src tree directory.

philipped@madrivia/trunk$ make

and you are done...

About the freeglut.h, I'm not sure that it's a good idea to change that
line, if
you open freeglut.h header file you will see the following lines:

#include "freeglut_std.h"
#include "freeglut_ext.h"

usually glut.h (freeglut version) just includes freeglut_std.h that's the
reason
that makes your scroll button to not work in freepv-glut... you should be
able
to get the header file from freeglut proyect site... if you are compiling
under
windows you also can get freeglut... freeglut extends glut... because the
guy who created glut has not updated it for while...

It's great to have you back and hope to hear from you more often... and
wait for Pablo's reply, I'm sure he can tell you something more...

Best regards,

Leon Moctezuma
