It worked fine for me. Thanks for doing this, I was about to do it myself.
Anyway, a couple comments, some picky.
Have it copy the resulting .lib file to the lib directory. I don't like
having stray projects in my workspace, I prefer just the lib.
Why is there an Ode_Headers folder and DrawStuff_Headers folder with each of
the test apps?
The Ode folder contains a single folder called 'Source Files' with both .h
and .cpp files in it, there should be 'Headers Files' folder too.
You could maybe add some stuff to config-single and config-double to help
with vc6 quirks.
#define for if(false) {} else for //fix non-compliant 'for' scoping
#pragma warning (disable:4305) // 'argument' : truncation from 'const
double' to 'float'
if you are feeling saucy, maybe a:
#pragma comment (lib, "opengl32.lib")
#pragma comment (lib, "glu32.lib")
