Re: OpenGL support in LablGTK2?

[Grégory Guyomarc'h]

I don't know what the current status of the GtkGlArea project actually
is, however you can still grab gtkglarea from Gnome's anonymous ftp:
ftp.gnome.org. The latest version (1.99) does not work with my recent
Gtk2 installation. There is another GL support library for gtk2 with
which I have no problem: the Gtk GL Extension (the project seems more
active than the gtkglarea project, it also provides more
functionalities), you can get it at

   http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/

If it helps, I have a straightforward ocaml bindings for part of this
library, you can get it at

http://gregory_guyomarch.imap-mail.com/code/ocaml-gtkglext-0.1.tar.gz

It has not been widely tested, but I have been using it for some time
and it works fine for me.

Regards,

Gregory.

though. Ah, yes i use this as build-dependencies :

Hope this helps.

OpenGL support in LablGTK2?

[Matt Gushee]

I was trying to compile LablGTK2 with GTKGlArea support, and I 
discovered that I don't have the gtkglarea library. My Linux 
distribution (Arch) doesn't provide the library for GTK2 ... and on 
further investigation it appears that the gtkglarea project has 
vanished. Both the Freshmeat project page and the developer's home page 
(at some university in Finland, it appears) are gone.

So what's going to happen with this? Will LablGTK2 have an alternate way 
to support OpenGL--or is there reason to believe that gtkglarea will return?

Thanks for any info.
