[Plib-devel] Problems, mostly with MSVC 6.0

[Wolfram K. <w_...@rz...>]

I just got the newest stuff from CVS, I want to look at LookAt :-).
BTW, long involvement in "Pretty Poly Edit" makes you speak
parrot-like ;-).

Anyway: 
All the libs compiled fine.

PPE doesn't compile since the arguments for ssgLoad and ssgSave in the
header- and the *.cxx-file are different.
I added the "const" in the parameter-lists in the *.cxx-file and
had do add a cast. This makes PPE work, but I havent looked whether
fname should be const or not. Here are the changes for ssgSave,
ssgLoad is analog (sp?):

int ssgSave ( const char *fname, ssgEntity *ent )
              ^^^^^
{
  if ( fname == NULL || ent == NULL || *fname == '\0' )
    return FALSE ;

  char *extn = file_extension ( (char *) fname ) ;
                                ^^^^^^^^

I also have problems with some of the examples.
Many examples don't compile obviously since the the glu(t) stuff isn't
linked. For example, this is one of the error messages I get for bend:

Linking...
bend.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_glutSwapBuffers@0

BTW, for PPE I have glu32.lib in the linker/input-options
after opengl32.lib.


Also, I have the following errors in majik-demo.cxx:
