Using Glut32 with Visual Studio 2012?

Question

I am using VS2012 RC to convert programming I did during a BSc, for an MSc application I am pursuing.  They were created with VS2003 instead that used a slightly different set of directory-paths.  Most of these I've been able to recompile, which work fine; however, some of them require Glut32 modules to run properly and give a linking error.

The consequence of this is there's no 'GL' folder where it would be, unlike in prior versions of the suite, so I'm not sure where to place the Glut32 files.

Hi Hyncharas,

I found some steps you can try as following below:

1. Put glut32.dll in system32

2. Put glut.h in GL folder. It can be found if you search for GL at Program Files in OS drive

3. Put glut32.lib in the library folder in VC 11 installation

4. Finally before you build your project open project configuration, input link and and glut32.lib.

More information you can refer to:
