MSVS C++ and Freeglut Setup

Leegit · Feb 13, 2014

I been having a hell of a time setting up Freeglut and Glew in Visual Studio 2013 C++. It seems I have linking errors but all my files are there.

Can someone direct me to a complete guide on setting this up? Everything I have found is from a different versions and doesn't work out of the box.

Also, should I be using a different versions/type for OpenGL?

thanks

What errors are you getting?

I was getting linker errors, LNK2019. I tried setting it up again on my laptop, got the Chapter 1 solution to build from this guide:

I tried to run the Chapter 1 code and I get a 0xc000007b runtime error now. I used Dependency walker as recommended on a post on the subject. Here is what it returned:

How can I check to see if I am compiling in 32bit or 64bit?

Just include them both..

Can be more specific? Include what? How? Why?

Fixed my problem.

I had to to place the .DLLs into the Debug folder of the solution in order to run the .exe.
