CEGUI SDK 0.7.5 vc9 LNK1104 freeglut_static.lib

[anotherNewbie]

Hello,
I have just installed Visual Studio 2008 Express on Windows 7

When I try compile, I get an error
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'freeglut_static.lib'

I am a DirectX user,and I'm not install OpenGL SDK on my computer.
Do I need to do custom build in Configuration manager and remake examples to not support OpenGL?

Hi,

Have you installed the pre-built SDK or are you trying to compile from source?
What are you trying to compile: CEGUI itself or your project?
Have you installed CEGUI's dependencies?

Hello,

I solved this way: under dependencies/lib/static created a copy of freeglut_d.lib and named freeglut_static.lib

HTH,

This is an issue with the compiled dependency lib - it contains a missing reference to the 'missing' lib by way of that damned #pragma lib thing. Copying the lib using the missing name works, the technically correct work-around is to add the erroneous lib name to the list of libraries to be ignored (ignore specific library or whatever it's called)
