galib 245

[Daniel]

Hi,

These links should probably help you in solving your problem. 
There are for VC++ 6, but I presume that it should be similar with 
VC++5:

http://lancet.mit.edu/galib-mail-archive/354.html

the below message is from Dr. Ian Wilson who helped me a lot 
when I had all sort of problems. Probably it would be a better 
choice if you download the following version of the galib (if you 
haven't done so already).

Daniel,

I am not sure which galib-2.4.4 you downloaded, there are two on 
the FTP
site, namely:
    the galib244.zip;
    and the galib244-win.zip (which, unlike the above, contains a 
projects
folder).

I have just downloaded the galib244-win.zip at home, built it, and 
then
downloaded both Windows demos (gademo and tspdemo), added 
them to the
workspace that is created by the galib244-win.zip and built them 
too (after
adjusting the referencing of the galib.lib). Aside from a few 
compilation
warnings (I didn't include the warning suppression code in the 
gaconfig.h
file), the console example and both windows examples work fine.

You have probably done the same, but knowing for certain will help 
me assist
you (should you require any further guidance).

Good luck,

Ian

Regards,
Daniel
