Trouble with Windows and GLUT
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 6:30 pm
I'm having trouble getting my programs to run with GLUT, I guess up to this point i was only using opengl and glu.
I don't know if anyone knows how to fix this, but maybe a second set of eyes can help, I haven't been able to come up with anything in my own searches.
I downloaded and unpacked the GLUT package, and copied the .h files to my Microsoft SDK folder. I then ran the makefile that came with the GLUT download and copied the resulting .lib to the SDK library folder and the .dll to the Windows/SysWOW64 folder, as per instructions I found here:

My code builds properly in visual studio, but when I run it, i get an error box which says "The program can't start because MSVCR90.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
I tried copying a MSVCR90.dll file i found elsewhere into my SysWOW64 folder but then I get a runtime error saying the application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Does anybody know how to get GLUT running on win7 with visual studio 2008?
