GLUT - JOYSTICK

[robert_s]

Hi all!
I have a little example with executable file which uses GLUTs glutJoystickFunc(...); function.
When I run the program ie. execute the exe file I am able to move in 3D by using a joystick. Now when I compile the source code myself then MSVC++ will overwirte the original executable created previously by somebody and will create a new exe for me which for some reason when I run the program again the joystick doesn't work. Am I missing some libraries or something??!!!!?!?!?! I've looked at the Glut spec and it doesn't say about some extra libraries in order to use it???!!
Whats wrong?

Do you have a link to the exmaple?
Would have to see how they have setup the glut routine.
