Hey, i was having problems running #include <gl/glaux.h> from a tutorial file, which by all means should be correct, even with a plain opengl program if i just include the glaux header dev c++ errors me. But ya, the library SHOULD have been included right , so i dunno whats wrong. Does Dev C++ in its latest versions not support Glaux? I heard (from NeHe's site) that it is old and outdated and many compilers are phasing it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thx :)
yeah dont use glaux
there are other ways to load textures.
Im sure I read somewhere just a few days ago that glaux was written for a quick job of some kind but now people are still using it. It was not written very well and has serious memory leaks in it.
ah, ty for that info. My main problem is getting over it lol. I dont know enough about OpenGL to get Glaux out of the tutorial i am taking, so needless to say i am having some problems. :p
Btw the Dev C++ app i am using, obviously is not 5.9.9.0, it is 4.9.9.0 Beta. When i posted this it was off of memory, and i soon came to relize 5.9.9.0 does not exist lol.
Thats fine.
I'm Using SDL with Dev-C++ and that is how i load images.
What window manager are you using?
umm beggin my nubness sir, window manager? lol
Windows? GLUT? SDL? What API do you use to create your window? ;)
sorry, i thought you ment API but i wasent sure, and to avoid horrible confusion i made sure to ask lol.
But atm, Win32. However once i can find the correct information to learn how to use it, i'll use Glut.
But so Glaux is a window manager?
no glaux is used to load textures.
Have a look here
