    Package/Source Codes/Toolkits/Data Downloads

    Packages Compile/Link Output
    MeshLib Create your own project and include these source codes --
    Some triangular mesh some mesh data (in .m file) -- --
    GLEW Find the workspace file in the directory "build" (it is for VC6, but convertible for higher VC version). *.lib in the diretory "lib", remember to build both the debug and release versions
    FLTK (include fluid) Find the "fltk" workspace file in "visualc", "vcnet", or "vc2005". *.lib in the diretory "lib", remember to build both the debug and release versions
    A "HelloWorld" MeshGUI (FLTK) (A more powerful version here) A VC2008 version, you can create your own console project and include source codes --
