No installers

When publishing software, make it installerless and portable (meaning it shouldn't write it's settings to the registry but to a user specifiable folder (a subfolder of itself by default)).

GnuCalc - A good commandline calculator

Download: Get
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/calc-bin-zip.php
and
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/readline-bin-zip.php
(place readline5.dll in GnuCalc bin folder).

For integer only, "set /a 2+2" is good enough.

highgui.h, highgui.dll download

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'highgui.h': No such file or directory

Just came across some OpenGL Tutorials which depend on OpenCV Lib's Image loading. OpenCV is a huge library with tons of other stuff you won't need for compiling these samples, so I went ahead and repacked just everything you need for compiling and running these samples (only tested simpleGLUT-Texturing).

highgui_h_lib_ocv_x86_vs10.zip (only vs10x86 binaries and required headers included)

When compiling these samples, make sure to set Linker > General > Output File back to default and remove any input libraries, then add the ones included here (e.g. by just drag and dropping them into the source file area of vs10) and copy the dlls in bin to your project dir.

Btw. when publishing something: Make sure to include an installerless version and put the files not directly into a zip but a single folder, such that "extract here" and drag and drop can be used to extract your program.
