Fixing Win32 build with SCons

[thelusiv]

I've gotten SCons almost compiling VDrift on my Windows XP VM. I also added all the necessary header files and dll files to the project, and changed a few things to accommodate SCons on win32, including build improvements and some modifications to headers. All this is checked in to VDrift trunk r1752.

I say it's almost compiling because I'm getting an error:

Code:

In file included from include\graphics.h:29,
                 from include\game.h:40,
                 from src\vamos\body\Car.cc:36:
include/shader.h:14: error: `GLhandleARB' does not name a type

I'm not sure what GL header I need to include to get this symbol. Joe, any suggestions?

So here's how to compile VDrift with SCons on Windows.

• Get TortoiseSVN and use it to check out VDrift SVN.
  
• Get Python for Windows and install.
  
• Get SCons for Windows and install. It should find your Python install location and install SCons there.
  
• Add the Python install location (i.e. C:\Python24) to your Windows PATH environment variable. To do this, right click My Computer, select Properties, go to Advanced tab, click Environment Variables button.
  edit: also add the Dev-C++ bin directory to your PATH. Usually this is C:\Dev-Cpp\bin.
  
• Now, open a command prompt (Start -> Run... cmd.exe). Change directories (cd) to the directory where you checked out VDrift SVN.
  
• Now just type scons and away it goes.
  

Those of you running Windows, please try it out and tell me if I've missed some instructions. It does not work yet due to the shaders.h problem mentioned above, but you can at least see if I got the instructions right...and hopefully that problem will be fixed soon anway. 8)
