So they changed Qt quite a bit, and you need to set a flag to load desktop OpenGL, otherwise you get dynamic behavior and must go through their OpenGL function wrappers that do dynamic loading, but only on Windows. Quite the rabbit hole, but I think I got to the bottom of it. I should hopefully have a very small patch shortly, and we are up and running with VS2015 with rendering! Haven't looked at Open Babel yet, that may have to wait, but I think this means we could switch to requiring C++11 on all platforms, which will be really nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
