1. Are all the files in place? You'll need the following:

   File	Location	Description
   OPENGL32.dll	C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32	opengl dynamic library. It is included in Windows 98, NT, ME, 2000
   OPENGL32.LIB	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Lib (on my machine)	opengl static library. It comes with Visual C.
   GLU32.LIB	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Lib (on my machine)	GLU static library. It comes with Visual C.
   GLUT32.LIB	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Lib (on my machine)	GLUT static library. It comes with GLUT distribution.
   glui32.LIB	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Lib (on my machine)	GLUI static library. It comes with the glUI distribution.
   gl.h	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL (on my machine)	GL include file. It comes with Visual C.
   glu.h	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL (on my machine)	GLU include file. It comes with Visual C.
   glut.h	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL (on my machine)	GLUT include file. It comes with the GLUT distribution.
   glui.h	C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Include\GL (on my machine)	GLUI include file. It comes with the glUI distribution.

2. Usually, there will be a project file (*.dsp) provided with the assignment. If this doesn't work on your machine, you can set it up yourself. To set up the Visual C++ environment for your project, you should check the following:
   • The source files are all in the project:

     On the BUILD menu, choose "Build" or "Rebuild All". If no project exists, you will be asked to create one. Linking will likely fail, so you will need to add other source files to the project: On the PROJECT menu, choose "Add To Project--" then "Files".

   • The necessary libraries are in used for the link step:

     On the PROJECT menu, choose "Settings", click the "Link" tab, and add the following to the "Object/Library modules" text box, if they're not already there:

     • opengl32.lib glu32.lib glut32.lib glui32.lib
