Hello All!
Is there an OpenGL library for OS/2 ?
I know there is MESA for Linux and that SGI recently released
OpenGL as OSS, but I haven't been able to find an OS/2 port
neither on www.sgi.com/software/opengl nor on www.opengl.org.
brilliant. Just what I needed, thanks.Is there an OpenGL library for OS/2 ?OGLGOLD.ZIP 4607283 02.10.97 This is the "gold" release of OpenGL 1.1
for OS2. Please forwared any problems to
IBM support or mail a description of the
problem and a testcase to - os2-opengl@utsi.com.
It contains DLLs, LIBs, Headers and Samples.
No idea. But if there is an OpenGL library, i'd rather use that since there will be an OS/2 - win32 and Linux version. Moreover, it's about the only way I know to do graphics :-)I know there is MESA for Linux and that SGI recently releasedI haven't found MESA for OS/2. But isn't MGL from Scitech Software a

3D library, too?

IBM OpenGL Gold is a beta version of OpenGL v 1.1. There
haven't been any work done on it since its release but like
other IBM software it is still available AB>(ftp://ftp.austin.ibm.com/pub/developer/os2/OpenGL).
Interesting. No, I do not need them. In the meantime, I have found there is also an os/2 port of Mesa. I'll try both and see which one is fastest. Mesa 3.2Is there an OpenGL library for OS/2 ?
Further to some other notes here. OpenGL 1.0 is faster than 1.1, so use it if you don't need the extra features in 1.1.
performance. Make sure you use the 1.1 libraries and headers to build your programs, since if you use the 1.0 libraries on a system with 1.1, they will fail but if you use the 1.1 libraries on a system with 1.0, it will work alright. There is an excellent series of articles on www.edm2.org (might be .com) on OpenGL, just look in the back issues.I'll have a look tonite, thanks.
There are also Glide libraries (a subset of OpenGL) that are hardware accelerated on the Voodoo I and II if you are interested in that sort of thing.

Gold indicates that this was the final release, so I wouldn't call it Beta.

I've read somewhere that "Gold" designates IBM wide beta versions. The
final release of version 1.1 never happened due to rapid collapse of
IBM Austin PSP department soon afterwards (in November, 1997).
By the way, if it was the release, they will most likely have it
included in Warp 4.5 convenience package(s) but there aren't any
plans for OpenGL enhancements in CP#1, as far as I know. Moreover,
the Aurora distribution contains the same old rusty OpenGL v 1.0.
