I got libGL and libGLU (from Mesa3D) to compile using pcc, I even
started looking at a native compile couple of weeks ago but other,
more important things, got in the way. What would be a nice student
project (IMHO) would be to write a P9 driver for Mesa3D's GL. I looked
at the SVGA and X86 drivers and they appear relatively easy to manage.
From the XaoS port that dpx@lanl fixed couple of weeks ago we found
that double buffering is possible in P9 and it's not completely and
utterly slow, so.. :)
In fact I wanted to do that as a student project a year and a half
ago, but someone offered 'do bioinformatics with p9' since
bioinformatics was all the rage at the time ... *shudder*...
regards, andrey
