First of all; please excuse my english, as i'm a student with lots of other things on my mind beside correct spelling / grammar. If you find any mistakes in this document feel free to contact me.
Everything described in this document was tested with Microsoft Visual C++ 6, but it should work with Microsoft Visual C++ 5 as well. If not drop me a line.
Currently glSDL is a proof-of-concept hack for SDL. In the future it will become a real backend, but till then you have to use it as is.
It is being developed by David Olofson in his free time. You can take a look at his other projects at his homepage: olofson.net.
Add glSDL.c and glSDL.h to your project.
Uncomment line 16 - #define HAVE_OPENGL - in glSDL.h.
Add opengl32.lib to your project by adding "opengl32.lib " to the beginning of the line in Project | Settings | Linker tab | Object-/Library-modules.
Add SDL_GLSDL to the flags of SDL_SetVideoMode().
Now: compile! - that's all.
To use the two examples you have to extract VisualC.zip to your glSDL folder.
Assure that your folder structure looks like this:
your glSDL folder\
VisualC\
paralax4c\
testsprite\
Now copy SDL.lib SDLmain.lib and SDL_Image.lib to your glSDL folder.
Or you can open up the projects, delete SDL.lib, SDLmain.lib and SDL_Image.lib from the project and add yours to the projects.
...Compile, take a look at the code and learn :).
I hope this brief introduction to glSDL helped you getting started with glSDL.
Thanks to David Olofson for glSDL and Lion Kimbro for the original SDL VisualC.html.
