Setting up OpenGL/GLUT/GLUI in Visual Studio 8.0

· Visual Studio 8.0 is installed in the Windows machines in HAASG056.

· OpenGL, GLUT and GLUI .lib and .h files can be found in

o C:/Program Files/Visual Studio 8/VC/include

o C:/Program Files/Visual Studio 8/VC/lib

· Follow the instructions in this link to setup your OpenGL/GLUT/GLUI project in VS2008.

· Try to compile it (F7) and run it (F5) (it should work if you follow the instructions).

· Replace the code in your .cpp source file with the skeleton code given in the spec of the Assignment.

· Include <windows.h> in your .cpp file. It MUST be the first header file included.

o Notice that <GL/glui.h> must also be included. Go to C:/Program Files/Visual Studio 8/VC/lib to verify the location of glui.h. You might need to change it to #include <glui/glui.h>

· Try to compile again. At this point you should be done setting up the project. Save this project (and its settings) as a skeleton that you will use for the following assignments.

· Next: Fill up the code for the screensaver logic. Remember that you can only use function glDrawPixels(…)

Have fun… and come with questions to the PSO!
