OpenGL beginning guide(glui)

1. Download the latest version of glui sourse code. (mine was glui-2.36)
2. Extract the zip file, and open the src/msvc/glui.sln file in vc++
3. Select the _glui library and build the library.
4. After building the library, the lib file (glui32d.lib), glui32d.lib – ‘d’ for debug, will be stored in the msvc\lib directory.
5. Put the glui32d.lib file into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib directory and rename to glui32.lib
6. Put the glui.h file into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include directory.
7. Create new project and try to compile. That's all.

Note : For VS 2010 users, the error below may be generated when compiling the library.

 

1	error C2252: an explicit instantiation of a template can only occur at namespace scope

Try this,

1. Cut the corresponding block code and paste outside the class GLUIAPI GLUI_CommandLine definition

   1	#ifdef _MSC_VER

   2	// Explicit template instantiation needed for dll

   3	template class GLUIAPI std::allocator<GLUI_String>;

   4	template class GLUIAPI std::vector<GLUI_String,

   5	std::allocator<GLUI_String> >;

   6

   #endif

2. Put #include <iterator> after #include <cstdlib>

   1	#include <cstdlib>

   2	#include <iterator>

   
   
3. Build it as usual
