Hi all,

Like all programming languages, the learning curve starts of pretty steep.
I've been trying to compile my very first performer application (i.e.
simple.cxx) under Windows using Visual Studio .Net 2003. I have not found
any tutorials around that show exactly what to do. I was hoping a Windows
Performer Guru will help run this code so I can do a write up on how to
compile the simple code.

1) I started by installing the OpenGL Performer 3.1.1 for Windows
(demo edition) from the link:
http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/downloads.html

2) Let the computer restart

3) Open a new Empty Project (.Net) under the Visual C++ Projects folder.
This will open a blank project without any files in it.

4) Once there, I dragged the simple.cxx file into the Source Files in
the Solution Explorer which puts simple.cxx into the Source Files Folder.

5) Click Tools->Options. On the Projects folder, there is a VC++
folder Directories.

6) Show the directories for include files and included tow lines:
   a. C:\Program Files\Silicon Graphics\OpenGLPerformer\Include\Performer
   b. C:\Program Files\Silicon Graphics\OpenGL Performer\Include

7) Show the directories for Library files and included this line:
   a. C:\Program Files\Silicon Graphics\OpenGL Performer\Lib

Unfortunately, after these steps that I know of, I get: "test1 error
LNK2020: unresolved token (0A000006) pfUpdatable.delete"

among 5 other problems. I'm not sure what problem it is exactly. I know I
should be changing the links. It doesn't seem to be the correct way of
doing this. Could some Windows Performer guru could get me started so I can
finish a write up to ease the pain on new users?
 
Cheers
