Hi,
I'm trying to link the ARtoolkit with an MFC-based application.

In this application, I'm just trying to get the ARtoolkit-localisation 
running. I don't need to display the video, I don't need to draw any graphics.

I think I just need to load the camera parameters and the desciription of 
the patterns I'd like to track.
But, in the simple.exe example, the initialisation calls the ArgInit() 
method, which calls the argInit2() method, that causes the initialisation 
of GLUT windows.

Previous mails mentioned that I just have to reomve the call to ArgInit2(). 
But do I need to recompile the ARtoolkit lib so to get a GLUT-FREE version 
of the AR toolkit ?
Or can I just create a argInitLight() method inside my own application with 
inside this light version of the method, all the code of the initial 
ArgInit method (except the last one : argInit2(...) ) ? Is it possible to 
do so, or not ? (potential global variables ???))

Thanks for your help, and if anyone has already re-compiled a GLUT-FREE 
version of the AR toolkit, I would be happy to receive it.

Thanks,
E.D.

Hi,
I was just trying to follow your indications and I realised that those 
functions are the one used if VisionSDK is intalled.
Am I completely wrong ?

If not, would you recommend to use the Vision SDK settings rather than the 
DirectShow setting ?
Could you explain me shortly the differences ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
E.D.

I am using DSVideoLib by Thomas Pintaric which uses DirectShow. There is 
a ARToolkit distribution which uses DSVideoLib here:

Try it out! It works with almost ANY webcam or video card and needs just 
one additional .dll to run. Of cause we are talking about Windows here.
