Re: How to get the libraries luaglut.dll, luagl.dll, luaglut.dll and memarray.dll?

thanks for replying

I have the source of luaglut 0.5 in "luaglut-0.5.tar.gz". How to compile the luagl.c, luaglut.c, etc. to generate luagl.dll, luaglut.dll, etc.with MinGW or by DevC + +?

Yes the function is accessible.
However you either need to compile from source[1] for which you will need a GLUT implementation, compiler (MinGW/MSVC) and CMake. You can however install the binary version using LuaDist[2] bateries for Windows.

Once you have LuaDist batteries on your system unpacked you can the install the luaglut module as follows:

cmd
cd [luadist directory]/bin
luadist install luaglut

The luaglut binding is not very clean but the function is accessible as follows

require "luaglut"
print ( glutBitmapCharacter )
function: xxxxxxxx
