I dont know whether someone is using C++-builder.
But several people here use Windo$, so if you have any concrete
problems we might be able to solve, dont hesitate to ask.

I would guess you should create a "project" for each of the ahm,
projects :-) like ssg, sg, fnt, pui etc. Then add all the source-files
(*.cxx) from the directory to your project. Then try to compile :-).
You will then get errors because some projects need others, for
example ssg needs ul and sg. So, add ul.lib and sg.lib to the
linker-input for ssg. That should be it.

Thanks, Wolfram,

Following the instructions of the 'readmes'

I made the following project file for the example 'sg_squd_test.cxx',

USE("vctobpr.log", File);
/* The above instruciton is a file made by Visual C++ to BCC conversion
utility in BCC++ */

USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\sg\Release\sg.lib");
USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\ssg\Release\ssg.lib");
USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\sl\Release\sl.lib");
USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\pui\Release\pui.lib");
USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\js\Release\js.lib");
USELIB("..\..\..\plib-1.2.0\src\fnt\Release\fnt.lib");

#define WinMain

(1) What I got is a link err message:'unable to open file "ODBCCP32.LIB" '
I wish that someone BCC++ users would help me with this.sgMakeQuat.

Next, attracted by a neat set of simple geometry 'sg' functions (stand
alone), I separated 'sg' section, and ran the example 'sg_squd_test.cxx'
with 'sg.cxx' and 'sg.h'. I got err messages for  'sgMakeQuat' and
'sgMakeRotMat4'. (2) I am wondering where the bodies of these functions are
in standalone functions.

Deungsan,

'sg_squd_test.cxx'? Which plib-version do you use?

>(1) What I got is a link err message:'unable to open file "ODBCCP32.LIB" '

I have just renamed ODBCCP32.LIB on my computer and can still compile
all of plib. ODBC sounds like database drivers to me.
You should
a) Try to find out who uses ODBCCP32.LIB. What's the exact error
message and when (compiling what) do you get it?
I think you should try to compile the plib-sub-projects as "*.lib" and
only then create applications.
b) If all else fails, ODBCCP32.LIB is in the platform sdk, which might
be free (of charge).

The bodies of the two overloaded sgMakeRotMat4-functions are in sg.cxx
and sg.h. Steve is a big fan of inline-stuff.
I can't find sgMakeQuat - maybe because I use the newest plib from
cvs.

>Deungsan,

Wolfram.

(1) There is no "ODBCCP32.LIB" in my BCB 5.0. I found a report about this in
a Borland news group. Hope I will get the key soon.

(2) No problem with the missing bodies of functions 'sgMakeQuat' and
'sgMakeRotMat4'. I made them (of course I tried plib1.2.0 and the newer one,
which ended with the same errors). One more, there is a function named
"sgMakeRotMat42" in the 'sg.cxx'. Wonder whether this is the same family of
overloaded as the above 'sgMakeRotMat4'  or an independent 4 to 2
transformation function.

(3) New question:  Is there 'glut' compatible with BCB 5.0?

Many thanks, Wolfram,

Deungsan,
