Where to find latest gl.h?

[C123]

I want to use
GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE

My gl.h (which came with both vs.net and vc++.net) are from 1995 and don't have it.

Thanx, I've looked around this site but can't find it.

Edit: ok, so now I know that I can't get an updated gl.h (thank you microsoft!) So I included glext.h but this file does not contain GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE. My gl version is 1.3 and I do support the edge-clamp extension. Do I have to "activate" the extension like I've seen done for arb_multitexture? (ps- I searched the glext.h file for the word "clamp" and it is not in there: it is Copyright 1992-1999 Silicon Graphics, Inc.)

thanx!

To use GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE just do this
#define GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE 0x812F

Look for glext.h which I think is either in the download section or the FAQ section of this site.

Thanx! I guess I had a really old copy of glext.h. I downloaded the one from here (its about 10 times longer than my old one!)

& it works, thanx http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

This is the site you want to get it from. It has the latest stuff on there as they change it every two minutes.

Hey thank you for that link: I think I will use the sdk as well (the glproc.c)

Please excuse my ignorance, but the instructions say to compile the glprocs.c and then link the resulting .obj to my application.

But I can't compile the glproc.c (there is no main function (duh), and also it complains about __imp__wglGetProcAddress@4.

I'm a noob to multiple source files... how do I compile this?

thank you

Unfortuately not. glext.h says:

glext.h last updated 2002/07/18

This is at least 1 version out of date.

May I ask where I can find a newer version?

Thanx bakery,

Miguel Castillo

The only place I have found a newer version is with the mesa library: www.mesa3d.org (http://www.mesa3d.org)

However, the one at the above address is certainly new enough for GL 1.3, so will include CLAMP_TO_EDGE. It does not include things like ARB_vertex_program.

If you are using quite alot of features which are above 1.1 however, I suggest you download the library from www.levp.de/3d (http://www.levp.de/3d) which will handle everything for you.

Thanks
