Compiling Embree was no problem with VS2008. But starting fails because freeglut.dll 2.6.0.3 doesnt supports the function "_glutDisplayFunc@4". What built/version of the freeglut lib is needed?
Thereare pre-compiled freeglut.dll files in the app/freeglut/x64/ and app/freeglut/Win32 folders. Use one of these DLLs. Copy it to the directory where you executable is generated.
