Starting a new project
Linking the library and header files into a new project can be an exhausting process,
but it is essential for building a new standalone project. However, to keep things
simple, the
Chapter1.1_EmptyProject
project in the topic's source code has all
of the headers and library files included with an empty
main()
function ready for fu-
ture development. If you wish to examine how these projects are pieced together, take
the time to explore their project properties in Visual Studio.
Here is a screenshot of the files extracted from the topic's source code, and made
ready for use:
Note
Note that FreeGLUT also relies on
freeglut.dll
being placed in the project's
working folder. Normally this requires the FreeGLUT project to be compiled first,
but since it's packaged with the topic's source code, this is unnecessary.
