[cl-opengl-devel] RFC: Merging thomas branch into main
by Charlie McMackin 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Since Luís hinted in a previous message to the list that consensus need be sought on whether or not to merge cl-opengl-thomas in to the main tree, I thought I would get the ball rolling for when he is free to do so (or not as the case may warrant). I offer these points as pro-merge: - With CFFI-new-types merged into CFFI-main, the main cl-opengl repo probably won't compile for anyone starting out using 'darcs get' or (require :cl-opengl) and will break for anyone using 'darcs pull' - Most recent patches have been requested to patch against the thomas branch - As far as I know, there's been no regression in the GL functionality area merge cons: - In it's current state, thomas will break some cl-glut-examples demos Anyone concluding differently or similarly? Comments? Charlie McMackin

[cl-opengl-devel] Approach taken by cl-opengl for binding creation
by Brad Beveridge 28 Jun '07

Hi guys. I really like the cl-opengl bindings, well done! Would somebody care to give a few lines describing how they were made & the underlying philosophy? From reading the code it looks totally hand tailored, apart from the automatic enum generation. Is this an accurate statement? Are the bindings so nice simply because a lot of care was taken? I plan to create bindings for nVidia's Cg API, which I'll post here at some stage in the future. Cheers Brad

[cl-opengl-devel] How are functions ordered?
by Brad Beveridge 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

I would like to add some functions to cl-opengl, but I figure that if I am going to send a patch in it might as well be in the style of the current code. It looks like functions are have been added in the order they appear in a book or something? I have probably missed something obvious, but which book do the chapters refer to? Cheers, Brad
