that's really not integrated with Clutter at all. bug 669788[0] is the tracking bug for an actor that allows using GL (or Cogl) in a separate context bound to an FBO; if somebody wants to tackle it I'd gladly review the patch. > From a promotional perspective I suggest adding those details more > prominently on the main website as I think it will provide another > incentive to people who might be sitting on the fence or struggling to get > an overview of the current state of play for gtk3 and opengl support. I'm not sure, and given the recent nature of the support for a separate GLES context, as well as its conditional status depending on the driver, I'd be very wary about using it as a "selling point" of Clutter. Clutter is already a valid tool, and it integrates correctly with GTK+ (or at least as much as GTK+ allows other toolkits to integrate with itself); I don't want Clutter to be just a nice way to set up a GL context in a GTK+ window so that you don't have to use GtkGLExt. > - In addition it would be helpful to include a link to cogl on the "get > it" page and explain the relationship between the two codebases and also > why it is important to build with "--enable-introspection" as it is not > obvious to a new user at the moment. feel free to open a bug about mentioning Cogl on the website. the introspection enabling is automatic, and depends on the environment as it should; Clutter depends on gobject introspection, though not strictly, exactly like all other libraries in the GNOME stack, including its dependencies. gobject-introspection is also listed in the README. ciao, Emmanuele.
