Re: [Plib-users] PLIB generation of libs and headers with a build using visual studio 2010... GENERATION details for vs 2010 express

[Steve B. <st...@sj...>]

Well, the PLIB project has been pretty much dead for at least a decade. 
It's totally obsolete now because most of the OpenGL calls it makes are
deprecated.

I'm fairly sure FlightGear moved to their own rendering library a dozen
years ago.

There was never much interest in putting together a build environment for
Visual Studio - we used the GNU C++ compiler and GNU-make tools for
building (which work just fine under Linux, BSD, Mac OSX and Windows under
Cygwin...so I'm not surprised that you found little help on that score.

OpenSource tools are driven by the enthusiasm of developers who are
working for $0.00 - if nobody comes along who wants to make a Visual
Studio solution file - then no solution file gets made.

If think you still need PLIB - then you're almost certainly on the wrong
track.
