I’m using OpenGL under VS2010 doing a program for a long time. The program can always run independtly(I mean not run from vs2010 but double click out side of the IDE) until now. “missing glut32.dll” shows to make me put it under the same directory.
Some one may say that I may losing glut32.dll in system32(or in my case, syswow64 for 64 bit windows). It is proved true when I put it in the dir. The question is: I’ve never removed it before. How can it be that case?
glut32.dllis not a core system library. It’s not installed there by default. Maybe some program’s installer did put its own copy into the system directory and removed it on uninstallation.Anyway,
glut32.dllis not a standard library and as such it’s not a bad thing to ship an independent copy with your own program.
