Halt, traveler! This soil you tread unawares
Is where an era came to an end.
Bend down and listen, this silent mound
Is where the heart of a nation beats.

I first tried with DeepSpeek, Gemini, and Copilot in their free versions, but they only go so far. I couldn’t succeed with them.
Then I tried with ChatGPT — I managed to get a render, but afterwards it asked for payment, so I couldn’t continue.
Finally, I used Grok to generate the last edited version. I managed to build successfully, but again Grok asked for payment, so I couldn’t continue further.
Because the source code is old (around 2010), it’s hard for AI APIs to find.
I used the old SpeedTree 1.6 speedtreewrapper.cpp files together with the SpeedTree 4.1 sample .cpp files and headers. By feeding those into the AI, I could have succeeded.
So basically, by looking at the .cpp and .h files from version 4.1 samples, I updated version 1.6 without breaking its code structure. That way, the issue was solved.
Someone else had tried before too — I checked their project, but it was incomplete and didn’t render properly.

"The tree leaves move as if blown by the wind. You can adjust their speed from the code below in wrapper.cpp."
// Gentle rustle time
static float s_fLeafTime = 0.0f;
s_fLeafTime += 0.002f;
if (s_fLeafTime > 100000.0f)
s_fLeafTime = 0.0f;
Normally, at 1.6 you can go under the tree and see behind it, but that makes the tree lose its “forest” quality, so I didn’t use it.
When it becomes transparent, it doesn’t feel like a real tree anymore.
In the current state, the tree is not transparent.
I’ve added the source — it’s compilable.
"I don't use DevIL and JPEG; I use stb. If you're using JPEG or DevIL, there might be a JPEG incompatibility during the build."
You don't need to send the .dll to the client.
