SDL 1.3 and GLEW

[Fugitive]

^Npapier, that would be great. I could help port it for RAD Studio 2009 (C++ Builder 2009) if you wish. That should make it compatible with all borland C compilers.

@Groovounet: Thats what I was doing before SDL. For some reason, with SDL 1.3, that method doesnt work anymore and I am guessing I have to use SDL_GL_GetProcAddress somehow...

@Fugitive: I gladly accept any help to support a new platform. gle is built regularly using gcc 4.4 on Fedora x86_6 and on Windows Vista 32/Seven 64 using Visual C++ 2008. Version 2010 RC2 and 2005 works too, but they are no more installed on my computer.
gle has no external dependency except c++ runtime, so it should be easily port to C++ builder by building files found in include and src directories in the subversion repository.

I don't have access to C++ Builder (no free version ?).
If you want to build the library, i will publish the package on google code.
Thanks

Actually, there is a free version of C++ builder: Turbo Explorer

The name is different(for branding purposes), but it is essentially C++ Builder 2006 (ive used it), and its free. It 'should' be available at: http://www.turboexplorer.com/
The website is down at the moment so i cannot confirm wether its still available. You can find it on other download sites though, like rapidshare.
Some info about it:http://www.onecore.net/in-review-turbo-explorer.htm

Please do publish the package on google code. Other people may find it useful as well.

Is there a proper release or we have to get the code from the repository?

[npapier]

@Fugitive: Is shared library produced by Turbo Explorer/C++ Builder 2006 compatible with C++ Builder 2009 you are using ?

@Groovounet: Not yet, but i'll create the package for Visual C++ 2008 this sunday. Are you interested in another compiler ?

[Groovounet]

I'm interested by compiler independent

Do you know CMake?

[Fugitive]

@npapier: Yes. From what I have seen, the libs are compatible across all versions of Builder. Infact, IMHO, libs are compatible across all Borland compilers regardless of IDE.

Hi!

Proper GL 3.x context support for GLEW might come along later in the year - it just happens that the product(s) I work on don't need it (yet), and nobody else has come forward to make those changes either.

But I encourage y'all to join the GLEW the email list and help get GLEW straightened out for OpenGL 3.x and OpenGL 4.0. It's mostly that I'm not _trying_ to everything at once. :-)

I just upload the first ready to use package for gle. As written before, only Visual C++ 2008 version is available. More to come.

@Groovounet: I'm interested by compiler independent too
I have choose a different solution by using SCons to build my projects.
I have written a lot of SCons code to construct a system that automate the building of libraries/executables, doxygen documentation, portable application, NSIS installer generation and so on. It's called SConsBuildFrameWork and is available here. However, I must make a little effort and update the documentation before publishing it.

@Nigels: Great effort! Keep up the good work on GLEW. Lets hope we see 3.x support sooner rather than later.

@NPapier: Perhaps you wouldnt mind writing a little tutorial on how to use gle? I would rather not have to reverse engineer it all.
