cvs or not,c compiler

OpenGL Development
#1

what “free” c/c++ compilers there are for windows so i can build lwjgl(and compiler that is supported with lwjgl build file)?

or is the current release up to date with cvs version?
so no need to fetch from cvs?

#2

Well, there are a number of free C/C++ compilers for Windows - DJGPP at least used to be the most popular - long time since I looked! However, I believe the LWJGL build system is completely MS Visual Studio. If you don’t have access to that, you’re probably going to have problems. :-/

As for the latest version, there were rumblings about a new release recently… Cas, when’s the next release scheduled?

#3

i managed to get compiled the cvs version to point where it need’s directx for input handling.

i guess it uses dx8, i’m downloading dx9 c/c++ sdk,hopefully there’s no big changes on it.

using dev-cpp(gcc3.2)

It will most likely be released tomorrow evening (CET), this will be version 0.5

#5

Ah yes, the pesky platform specific DirectInput stuff. Wish there was something similar to OpenGL and OpenAL that handled input.

#6

what sdk provides eah.h header for lwjgl compilation?
OpenAl SDK from creative doesn’t,should it?

#7

eax.h you mean? it’s in the EAX sdk from creative (downloaded separately from the OAL sdk). regarding Visual Studio, I believe that lwjgl should be easily compilable with other compilers. All source files in src/native/common is shared with the linux gcc compile, for example.

heh, it seem’s that more and more user’s are showing the
microsoft what they think of it.
