Hi,
Been learning from the Walker Demo
(Code Resources - OpenGL Wiki)
But I’ve just noticed a horrible performace hit - bring up the glut menus with a right click and if I highlight one the selections that has a submenu (with the mouse) the frame-rate drops markedly.
I’m already heavily using this code and didn’t notice till I went on a much slower machine (highlighting a submenu drops the framerate on that machine from ~40 to ~8) Thought it was an alteration I made but I have redownloaded and seen the same behaviour on the original code. (it’s actually easier to spot as the performance hit is more profound on the original code)
Had to edit the Makefile to get it too compile in linux:
RM = -rm -rf
TARGETS = walker
SRCS = models.c walker.c walkviewer.c
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)
INCLUDES = -I/usr/X11R6/include
LIBS = -lglut
default : $(TARGETS)
walker : (OBJS) (CC) -o @ (INCLUDES) (LIBS) (OBJS)
clean :
(RM) (TARGETS) $(OBJS)

I’m using a XP-1800+ with gf4mx440, debian testing
I’m unsure if this issue is a glut version issue or the original code has done something naughty with submenus.
Not quite sure what info would be helpful so PLEASE if you need anything else just say so.
I have the following glut debs installed
$ dpkg -l “glut” | grep ii
ii freeglut3 2.2.0-8 OpenGL Utility Toolkit
ii freeglut3-dev 2.2.0-8 OpenGL Utility Toolkit development files
ii glut-doc 3.7-25 documentation and examples for the OpenGL Ut
ii glutg3-dev 3.7-25 the OpenGL Utility Toolkit development files
ii libglut3 3.7-25 the OpenGL Utility Toolkit
ii libglut3-dev 3.7-25 development libraries and headers for GLUT
