fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file winmm.lib
I can't compile any of the tutorials. winmm.lib simply does not exist in the POCKET PC 2003 path. Where am I supposed to pull this file from? I'm absolutely positive I'm using the correct lib and header files for the emulator (I've tried setting this up 10 times now).

Hi,

Try compiling for ARM. If you are wanting to use the emulator, try recompiling the source of the library using EVC++ 4.0 or download them from :

http://www.zeuscmd.com/tutorials/opengles/02-SettingUpYourEnvironment.php

Is the problem with the GLUT|ES library or the Vincent / Hybrid library.

Regards,
Grant


I tried that, still get the same error. winmm.lib does not exist in the libs directory.
Hi,

What libraries are you using ie. Hybrid / Vincent with/without GLUT|ES?

Regards,
Grant
I've tried both the Hybrid and the Vincent. I have not tried it without GLUT|ES because I assumed that was required.
Hi,

When you said "I tried that", were you referring to compiling the source or compiling for ARM.

If you have not tried compiling the GLUT|ES package, you should do so.

If you still have problems, please let me know and I will package up the current GLUT|ES libraries that I have.

Grant
Hi, he is right
I had the same error !
Don't use thje .dll/lib compiled for vincent by Grant.
Use the original source file : glutes-1.11-src.zip
and compile, then take the .lib and .dll in the right places... (emulator and ppc)
OK I put the compiled libs on my server :
www.baghli.com/dl/ppc/lib.zip
www.baghli.com/dl/ppc/include.zip

ciao
Hi,

Thanks blotfib. Would you mind if I took the versions you compiled and put them as alternate downloads to the ones I already have in the tutorial?

Regards,
Grant
no pbs
of course, I put hem on the web to help ppc opengl programmers; to let people use them and pray for my maGHfirah (forgiveness).
;-)
Hi,

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Grant
I just copied this WINMM.LIB from Visual C++ 6.0 lib dir to eVC lib dir and added this file to project. Works flawlessly :)

Hi,
Very sorry for posting the same question. I'm also getting the same linker error. I tried to download from the link www.baghli.com/dl/ppc/lib.zip, but this is not valid URL. Could anyone suggest me how to execute my application.

Hi,

Have you tried downloading and compiling the latest source from the GLUT|ES website?

Regards,
Grant
Hi

you'd better move to MS visual studio 2005, it compiles well for ppc !!! including on glut es, and I recommand hybrid instead of vincent coz it is faster !!!
www.baghli.com/dl/ppc/lib.zip
and
www.baghli.com/dl/ppc/include.zip
are now available in their initial compil, but I don't use them since I have moved to VS2005
Grant could you take them and publish them on your site if you want ?

Ciao
