Hi All, I am trying out some older tutorials from NeHe but do not have glaux.h (though glaux.so is there). Does anybody know where I can download a copy? Thanks, ruralmyth ---

You can do a google search and find it. Just remember the glaux is a library created by Microsoft and is not support for it under linux. You can also find the glaux.h with the Visual C++ compiler. [This message has been edited by nexusone (edited 01-26-2004).] ---

Thank you - but so far google has merely being returning pages telling me to include glaux.h, but not the actual file itself. I was going crazy trying to think of a search term which would make a difference. I do not have visual studio, using instead Dev-c++ BUT - Since my last message, I have rewritten the demo so that it no longer needs glaux, instead I am using the bitmap loader from SDL, which appears to do an equivalent job. ---

Strange when I did a google search for glaux.h I found the file on the first page of the search… > Originally posted by ruralmyth: > [b]Thank you - but so far google has merely being returning pages telling me to include glaux.h, but not the actual file itself.

I do not believe it – I cannot explain why I did not spot this page! Perhaps because I used other words as well in my search? I don’t know… Anyway, this was the 5th hit: [http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece796/project99/8/final/code/18-796Project/include/gl/GLAUX.H](http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece796/project99/8/final/code/18-796Project/include/gl/GLAUX.H) Thank you - ---

In MS Visual C++ follow these steps to have access to glaux.lib: - select the “Project” pull-down menu - select “Settings” - select the “Link” tab - click on the “Object/library modules” text line - click END - click SPACEBAR - type “glaux.lib” - select “OK” Also, since you are doing graphics, these libraries may be useful: opengl32.lib glu32.lib Just add them the same way. Good Luck! ---
