OpenGL Aux

[Lionel]

please,someone give me these files,i can't find them all over the internet

- Glaux32.lib
- Glaux32.dll

they are the required files for using the OpenGL Aux functions under Windows,they're very popular among OpenGL programmers,i need them

thanx in advance

Just google with glaux.zip.

 

[Lionel]

yes it works! you're great

 

[euphoria]

Thanks, i know!

I do alot of opengl programming and I think glaux sucks my left nut.

 

[Lionel]

mmh,i think it's more functional than the glut library and it abstracts the windowing (Win32) part of your program,as well as getting input

it provides more functionalities than the glut while offering the same abstraction from Win32 details...ok they're both just for learning and are not used by who's already experienced,but among them i think Aux is the best

in which way do you write opengl programs?
just combining Win32 with gl functions?

 

[bjz]

You dont know what your talking about. Glaux and Glut are totally differant things. They dont at all provide similar functionality. The only useful thing in glaux is the bitmap loading and thats not even very useful. If you cant even read a bitmap file yourself then I really dont think you should even be messing with opengl. However strong my words sound it's only my opinion so please dont get offended. And yes, I simply use API calls, how it was meant to be used.

If I remember correctly bjz, you hate all API's all together

I dont know about all of this sucking of left nuts.....

^^lmao

(sorry for the useless post)

 

[Lionel]

have someone ever tried OpenAL and OpenIL ?

Are they good?

 

[thakis]

Yupp, they are good.

Well Glut is more generic and GLaux is no longer supported or updated by anyone. You can handle loading in bitmaps etc. with a bit of code. I recomend going to NeHe's site if you are serious about doing things in OGL. they have some decent totorials to get you started and that includes loading bitmaps and wot not.
