Hi --
Earlier I had asked what version of OpenGL is supported by MacPorts' version of
mesa, and then was distracted by other issues and never got to the next part of
the question...
Mesa 17.1.6 nominally supports OpenGL 4.5, but glxinfo says it's only 2.1:
>> port installed mesa
The following ports are currently installed:
mesa @17.1.6_0+osmesa+python27 (active)
>> glxinfo -B
name of display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.BNMe1Dpa8w/org.macports:0
display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.BNMe1Dpa8w/org.macports:0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5770 OpenGL Engine
OpenGL version string: 2.1 ATI-1.68.20
<-----------------------------
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
What do I have to do to get at least version 3.2? I'm using vtk 8.1.1 and it
requires OpenGL 3.2 or later.
If I build vtk for Cocoa and install all ports with "+quartz -x11", then vtk
works properly, using the OpenGL libraries provided by the system. But that
requires building all ports with "+quartz -x11", which is a pain, and not
something that I can easily ask of other users of our software.
Thanks,
Steve
