settingup with freeglut - glew - openGL

Question

I've been trying to get freeGlut/openGL and glew working to visual studio 2012 but can't seem to get it working.

These are my errors: http://pastebin.com/8YyVvxDb

I've moved the headers, DLLs, libs and everything to all possible places, added stuff into the linker etc but it still doesn't work. I do have teamviewer/skype if someone can help me through remote

Here are the logs linked to above. Order is retained from OP's link.

I found a program called "dependencywalker" and used it to look for possible errors.. here's the report from it:

Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

It says it can't find the module "GPSV.DLL" and "IESHIMS.DLL" .. Got any idea of what I done wrong?

Link seems broken. Post the error codes directly to SO next time. — Bartek Banachewicz, Feb 23 '13 at 12:46

I had a look at the link but it doesn't seem to be of any help to me T.T — Marcus Ekström, Feb 23 '13 at 13:22
I can't seem to get it working. Can please someone help me through skype or teamviewer? — Marcus Ekström, Feb 23 '13 at 16:05
I did manage to get rid of the error though.. Now I only got "The Application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application" when I run the source code I build. — Marcus Ekström, Feb 23 '13 at 16:29
It's strange because: " ========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== " yet it doesn't work to run the program — Marcus Ekström, Feb 23 '13 at 17:51
I know where the problem is. You need to use 32-bit/64-bit versions of libraries. `0xc000007b` means corrupted image, so you use 32-bit code with 64-bit .dll or vice versa. — user35443, Oct 12 '13 at 06:48

With the project open, select "Project" from the menu bar and Properties on that menu. In Configuration Properties, select VC++ Directories. There, edit your Include Directories to include the freeglut\include folder, and edit your Library Directories to include the freeglut\lib folder. I am new to freeglut as well, but this is what worked for me, getting rid of the same kinds of errors you mentioned.

He already said that he tried to fiddle with project options. Without the error logs, your answer is only a guess; please refrain from posting answers in which you aren't *sure* that they are correct. – Bartek Banachewicz Feb 23 '13 at 12:56
I looked at the error logs on the link you falsely claimed was broken. My response was appropriate to those logs. – WDS Feb 23 '13 at 12:58
Can you please put these logs as a suggested edit to the question? I'll accept it. – Bartek Banachewicz Feb 23 '13 at 12:59
Hmm, not sure how.. Perhaps you can help me through a remote client such as skype or teamviewer? – Marcus Ekström Feb 23 '13 at 13:04
@WDS your response was completely wrong basing on these logs. – Bartek Banachewicz Feb 23 '13 at 13:13

@MarcusEkström I'd remove that if I were you. – Rapptz Feb 23 '13 at 23:12
@BartekBanachewicz I've deleted everything I added I believe, I looked through your github for the dependencies only found GLEW, not freeGLUT.. but I got two websites open from where I could possibly download them but I'm not sure which one to download. My id/password remains the same. – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 00:14
58dez7 is the new pw to teamviewer – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 00:21
@BartekBanachewicz New day, new strength.. gonna try some more. if youdon't mind trying again here's my teamviewer: 482067989 / 727gkh – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 10:48
@BartekBanachewicz Still not fixed.. I repaired VS2012, perhaps you can just install the library normally for me now? Teamviewer: 482067989 / aqu959 – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 19:19
@BartekBanachewicz Bartek, I will give you 2£ on paypal if you can help me out tonight, please help me. – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 21:36
Wow you're not cheap at all – Lightness Races in Orbit Feb 24 '13 at 22:54
Well, 2£ to install a library as a thanks, I believe it's better than nothing.. I'm not paying him, I'm just giving a penny as thanks. Also, not to be stereotypical or so but I know lots of friends from Poland and they all earn very little there. Anyhow I do believe the 2£ would be appreciated compared to 0. – Marcus Ekström Feb 24 '13 at 23:03
