OpenGL

Hi,

I need some information about using OpenGL on Windows with VisualWorks.

I am using VisualWorks Release 7.9.1

and OpenGL-Windows parcel, version: 3.0 23

It works fine on lots of configurations, but, I have crashes

under Windows XP. The first lesson of OpenGL-Lessons crashes Visual works.

How can I know the version of OpenGL the package is designed for ?

How can I know the version of OpenGL on my machine ?

Thanks for help,

V.

parcel: OpenGL-Windows

prerequisiteParcels: OrderedCollection (#('DLLCC' '') #('OpenGL' ''))

space: #('4545' '137008')

timestamp: 18 septembre 2009 08:40:57

version: 3.0 23

The current version of the OpenGL package is a little bit particular about what drivers you have. I have been working on a newer version of the OpenGL package which will support multiple versions of OpenGL and should be a lot more stable. It’s disappointing to hear that you’ve found a particular configuration on Windows XP that doesn’t work, however, Arden can correct me if I’m wrong, we don’t support Windows XP any more. Not that the OpenGL package is supported either - which is why I’ve been working on a new one, one that I’ll be trying to get in to the product as something supported instead of a goodie. There’s no time frame on that at the moment though, sorry.

Cheers,
Michael

I’m not sure if 64-bit would work, though I know my new version does. The DLLs are the same name (amusingly!) but some of the DLLCC specs need to use 64-bit pointers instead of 32-bit.

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks Michael,

I know, XP support is over for 1 year at Microsoft.

And what about 64 bit version ?

When I try it, it wasn't working.
