Re: Linking error

Hi,

I downloaded GLUT Win32 port from his author's page:

http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html

The actual link to source code is this:

http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut/glut-3.7.6-src.zip

This library seems to me written using VC6 (it's a pure C library).
I tried building it with my copy of VC6 with SP6 and it built fine (no error
occurred).

Note that the function that gives you error has a different definition in
the source code I downloaded from the aforementioned link.

In fact, in file "win32_util.c" the body of the gettimeofday function is
this:

<code>

int
gettimeofday(struct timeval* tp, void* tzp)
{
  LARGE_INTEGER t;

  if(QueryPerformanceCounter(&t)) {
      /* hardware supports a performance counter */
      LARGE_INTEGER f;
      QueryPerformanceFrequency(&f);
      tp->tv_sec = t.QuadPart/f.QuadPart;
      tp->tv_usec = ((float)t.QuadPart/f.QuadPart*1000*1000) -
(tp->tv_sec*1000*1000);
  } else {
      /* hardware doesn't support a performance counter,
         so get the time in a more traditional way. */
      DWORD t;
      t = timeGetTime();
      tp->tv_sec = t / 1000;
      tp->tv_usec = t % 1000;
  }

  /* 0 indicates that the call succeeded. */
  return 0;
}

</code>

and it compiles fine, as the whole GLUT library.

Are you sure that you downloaded the Win32 port of GLUT?
(And not some Unix/Linux version ?)
