1896 :: glut/opengl on windows?

• matkuki (orginal) [2015-12-26T14:26:04+01:00] view original

  Anybody got the glut_example.nim working on windows?

  I am using Nim 0.12.1(i386) with mingw64-32bit/MSVC2010-32bit and am using it on windows vista 64-bit and windows 7 64-bit. I am compiling for 32-bit.

  The code compiles successfully on both compilers, but the resulting application always throws a segfault. I tried it with the following precompiled binaries:

  • https://code.google.com/p/rawvideoplayer/downloads/detail?name=glut-3.7.6-bin.zip&can=2
  • http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/freeglut-devel/

  With the glut-3.7.6-bin binary and compiling with MSVC, I get an error:

  
  Traceback (most recent call last)
  glut_example.nim(91)     glut_example
  SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)
  Run

  Also tried the trick given here: http://forum.nim-lang.org/t/917/1 but the error does not change.

  With the freeglut MSVC binary the result is the same.

  Also tried compiling glut 3.7.6 with mingw64 with these instructions: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Compile_the_OpenGL_Utility_Toolkit_GLUT_for_Win32_with_MinGW

  The library compiles, but when using it with the mingw64 compiled application, it throws:

  
  could not load library: glut32.dll
  Run

  Any help would be appreciated.
