testing the B3DAcceleratorPlugin on Mac OS X

Hi All,

I hope I've built the B3DAcceleratorPlugin for the 32-bit Mac Cocoa VMs. B3DAcceleratorPlugin needs Carbon and QuickTime frameworks and so is linked against them and will only be available on 32-bits (until we can rewrite to avoid using the 32-bit only APIs). But I need to test this. What's a minimal Balloon demo I can load into a trunk image to test the plugin? (URLs appreciated)

AdvThanksance, Eliot

This is the simplest:

OpenGL example

... after installing OpenGL using the Installer snippets at

The following might install something similar, but I did not test that:

Installer new merge: #openGL.

(I don't think anybody has tried to use Balloon3D in a recent image, we just use the plugin to set up an OpenGL context)

I tried it on a Pi not too long ago, with some small success and quite a few odd problems that I don’t much remember.
