SDL XCode OpenGL Project Template (Whales and Fish swimming)

Steps to get it to work in Windows XP Visual Studio 2010

Dynamically Linked

• Install Nate Robin's GLUT for Win32.
• Install SDL libs.
• Setup the lib and include folders
        Project properties -> Configuration properties (CP) -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories, Library Directories
• CP -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies
        glut32.lib
        SDLmain.lib
        SDL.lib
• Function mtime giving us shit. Spent time finding a replacement with CTime.h and the SDL Timer, that was stupid. Since mtime is not used, just scratch it and return 0.
• Comment out glutSwapBuffers() in Atlantis_Display(void). The display works without it, might be an issue with glEnd() not being called afterwards. Didn't look into it deeper, don't need to, it works.
• Copy SDL.dll and glut32.dll to the same folder as the executable.

Statically Linked (Single Executable)

• Download GLUT and SDL source, compile them into static libs.
        CP -> General -> Configuration Type -> Static Library (.lib)
• Disable the post build events for GLUT
        CP -> Build Events -> Post-Build Event -> Use In Build -> No
• Fuck with the Runtime Library settings
        CP -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library -> /MD (for all 3 projects)
        CP -> General -> Use of MFC (Don't think this matters too much, but here's the config currently)
        This Project = Use Standard Windows Libraries
        GLUT = Use Standard Windows Libraries
        SDL = Use MFC in a Shared DLL
• Turn on verbose
        CP -> Linker -> General -> Show Progress -> /Verbose
• Realize from the output that searching in glut32.lib is not finding glutBitmapCharacter()
• Added a all of the directX libs because thought SDL needed it, verbose also let us know we only need dxguid.lib
• Try a whole bunch of shit, read a whole bunch of pages to resolve the glutBitmapCharacter() issue.
• Cannot have __declspec(dllimport) on static lib functions, so just delete GLUTAPI at the front, making it
        void APIENTRY glutBitmapCharacter(void *font, int character);
• You don't even need the extern keywords because it's all statically linked.
• Change for both the header file in source and the include one, recompile GLUT, overwrite old lib, recompile project.

Conclusion

      Don't use GLUT, stick to SDL bitch.
