( This page was formerly in Swedish, but since there also seems to be demand for this kind of information abroad I've decided to both update the information for Borland C++ version 5.5 and the new GLUT version 3.7.6 and translate it to English. )
Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows platform
- Borland C++ 5.5 , free compiler from Borland (registration required)
- The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT), download the latest binary version.
- OpenGL Software Runtime from Microsoft
Steps to install:
- Run the OpenGL95.exe file which unzips a number of files in a directory
- Copy the opengl32.dll file to \windows\system\ (on Win95/98/ME) or winnt\system32 (on WinNT/2000)
- Copy GL.H, GLU.H and GLAUX.H to <borland55 install dir>\include\gl\> (create GL directory if not available)
- You need to create libs from these
Windows DLLs (libs also downloadable here):
- opengl32.dll
- glu32.dll
- glut32.dll
- glut.dll
- winmm.dll
- Libs are created with the Borland program implib
(from the command prompt).
Usage: implib <lib_name>.lib <lib_name>.dll - Copy the libs to <borland55 install dir>\libs\
Now OpenGL/GLUT should work with the Borland C++ compiler!!
To Compile:
To compile a file you may need to include the glut32.lib library:
bcc32 -L <borland55 install dir>\lib\glut32.lib filename.c
Rember that you must add the line
#include
<windows.h>
before
#include
<GL\glut.h>
I hope these instructions make sense. If you have any questions or comments regarding the configuration (not about OpenGL programming!) please mail me: e95_tni@e.kth.se
