GLU32.DLL needed?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/GLU32.DLL needed?

When I compile the following code:

SuperStrict

Framework BRL.D3D7Max2D
SetGraphicsDriver D3D7Max2DDriver()

Graphics 640,480,32

While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
	Cls

	
	If KeyDown(KEY_UP) Then SetColor 255,255,255 Else SetColor 128,128,128
	DrawText "UP",320,200

	If KeyDown(KEY_DOWN) Then SetColor 255,255,255 Else SetColor 128,128,128
	DrawText "DOWN",320,280

	If KeyDown(KEY_LEFT) Then SetColor 255,255,255 Else SetColor 128,128,128
	DrawText "LEFT",300,240

	If KeyDown(KEY_RIGHT) Then SetColor 255,255,255 Else SetColor 128,128,128
	DrawText "RIGHT",340,240
	
	Flip
Wend

End

and run it on a WinXP PC with an ArcadeVGA video card installed, it complains about GLU32.DLL not being available. I would think that this would require NO OpenGL components. Any idea why this is happening?

EDIT: Ok, after playing around a bit more I found that GLU32.DLL couldn't load because of a harddrive error. Still strange that a BMax app compiled using a DX7 framework would try to load GLU32.

D3D7Max2D imports GLMax2D so in case of DirectX initialization failure it can fall back to gl drivers. It could possibly be removed.

Aah, Ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the info. In the mean time I tried a Blitz+ version which failed with the same error. I then remembered that B+ has an OpenGL rendering mode. Rather than mess around with trying to remove the GL fallback mode from the DX7 driver I think I'll just get that harddrive replaced. =)
