Re: [Chicken-users] [ANN] opengl-glew version 0.4.0
Exciting work, Alex! I'm really looking forward to look into this. Hoping I'll have time to do so now. And I'm glad the glm egg was useful, even with the documentation lacking as it is. gl-math looks nice and lightweight, did you write hypermath.c yourself? Do you have some insight on how much work is needed to make the opengl-glew egg compile for OpenGL ES? K.

And I'm glad the glm egg was useful, even with the documentation lacking as it is. gl-math looks nice and lightweight, did you write hypermath.c yourself? hypermath.c is indeed written by me. It’s no doubt not as thoroughly tested as GLM, so there might be some bugs lurking. So far it has worked well for me, though. Do you have some insight on how much work is needed to make the opengl-glew egg compile for OpenGL ES? Hm, opengl-glew was certainly not written with ES in mind. As far as I know, GLEW provides no support for ES. A true OpenGL ES egg (let’s call it opengl-es) could likely be very easily made by copying opengl-glew.scm, removing the references to GLEW, and creating a gl.h file from http://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/api/GLES3/gl31.h via gl-translator.scm (the sort of operation that is done in opengl-glew’s setup file). If this were done, then it would probably make sense to split gl-math and gl-utils off into separate eggs, as well as move the additional definitions made in opengl-glew.scm into gl-utils. I’m not sure how you’d get rid of the dependency to opengl-glew in gl-utils, though – since presumably you’d want it to depend on opengl-es if that were the platform being used. In any case, if this is something that you’d like to work on, let me know and we can coordinate our efforts. -- Alex ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
