Linkage error with glui32.lib and libcd.lib on Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to port a (very) old project of mine from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 2010.

The project is an OpenGL application, and as such, it uses the following libraries (amongst others):

• glu32.lib
• glui32.lib
• glut32.lib
• opengl32.lib

The glui32.lib library links the libcd.lib library, which is not supported on Visual Studio 2010.

So I need to find a version of the glui32.lib library, which links the libcmtd.lib library instead.

My questions are:

• Is there any such version of the glui32.lib library?
• If yes - where can I download it?
• If no - can I use the libcd.lib library on Visual Studio 2010?
• If yes - where can I download it?
• If no - is there any other way for me to solve this linkage error?

UPDATE

I'm leaving the answer below as the accepted one, but here is a workaround for porting an OpenGL project from Visual Studio 6 to Visual Studio 2010 (after creating the project in Visual Studio 2010):

• Right click the project and choose Properties.
• Open Configuration Properties --> C/C++ --> Preprocessor.
• In the Preprocessor Definitions entry, add GLUT_BUILDING_LIB.
• In the Runtime Library entry, choose Multi-threaded (/MT) or Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd).
• Open Configuration Properties --> Linker -->Input.
• In the Additional Dependencies entry, add glu32.lib;glui32.lib;glut32.lib;opengl32.lib.
• In the Ignore Specific Default Libraries entry, add libcd.lib.

You can rebuild GLUI. The MSVS project they ship converts without issue to VS2010.

You will have to point it at your GLUT build though.
