Is there a module that supports OpenGL 2.0 in D?
All I see is support for 1.1,1.2 and I think GLFW has 1.4 or 1.5.

http://www.lessequal.com/software/ for win32.

Great! I wonder if there will be a Linux version too.

Yes.

Thank you, bobef.

You'll be our saviour! I see that it has some linux support already if I'm not mistaken.

Then I'll switch to GLEE & D (I'm using C++ & GLEW) immediately and hope that there will be a Linux version soon too.

I like your lincense: "'bobef license 1.0': use without restrictions at your own risk"

Yes, it has linux support and extensions but I haven't yet did the linux part (simply because I don't have linux), but I installed it few days ago. Of course I broke it so maybe after few more reinstallations I will be ready to run D ;]

After I first tried Linux in 97 and I had it for a few months, finally I deleted it simply because I needed the space and it didn'y bring me anything that my amazingly STABLE Win95 PE couldn't do for me. Really, no joke - I actually never understood the troubles of the people complaning about 95, when I installed Win98SE it was a completely different story... Then I looked into Linux again, then again and again, until last year I was finally able to install a Linux that would run almost out of the box with my hardware: Ubuntu and it works! So I have it for many months now (although installing propriatery ATI drivers is a little bit tricky but there is a good HOWTO already). And because I don't really have much use for Linux I've decided to do cross-platform OGL/OAL demos with it.

:) So I'll say with a few words what I've said above: If you haven't, I recommend you to try Ubuntu (I haven't needed more than 2 reinstallations to make it work as I want).

Initially I hesitated to offer you help with GLEE for Linux but since I'm not experienced with D, I decided not to do it for now but I still can be a tester ;)

Best regards

Ubuntu was the distro I broke yesterday ;] I guess I am very talented ;] I had no problems with the ATI drivers but it works too slow for me. I don't like it. I think am giving a VectorLinux another try, because few months ago it worked very well for me...

I break Ubuntu all of the time... but only because I mess around with it and upgrade to unreleased versions (running dapper now). But I've installed Ubuntu on many machines without problems. I even run a script to download/compile/install enlightenment (unstable) for my desktop, since it's faster and nicer than gnome.

Are you running an older machine? VectorLinux is faster but I don't think it's as noticeable on newer machines (for older machines it's probably better). I think gnome is a big problem for the slowness in Ubuntu, which a lot of memory problems have been fixed recently. So if you're daring (though it's pretty stable for me) you can give dapper (newest Ubuntu) a try.

On another note, I've never used GLEE. But if you want help testing/porting it, I'd be glad to help (anything that deals with Linux and OpenGL sparks my interest).

I wasted whole day installing vector, making ati hardware acceleration work, configuring kde, etc...
Then I translated GLee to linux but I was unable to test it. It compiles but I failed at the link step (some unresolved symbols even after linking with all the required libraries (x11,xf86blah,a,m,,s,d,f,g,h,f,5,f,jh,i,56,,gf,g,dl,gl, what ever (can't they think of names longer than 3 letters?!?)). So I read some forum and they said reinstalling glibc may solve this. Bad idea. So guess what. I broke it ;] Anyway if you want give it a try, maybe it works. I uploaded the new stuff here http://www.lessequal.com/software/gleed/gleed.zip . And it is updated it to GLee 5.1... And I made few more changes after that (in windows) so maybe I broke something in the linux version (i.e. some imports)...

Noo... 2500+mhz 512ram.. I guess GNOME is just slow... And KDE too... This is so annoying... I like IceWM but it doesn't have desktop and many other things... damn.... I will give Ubuntu another try if you say. But I need some rest. I broke 3 distros in 48h...


P.S. why the hell they call Kate "programmers editor"? it don't even have macros... Guess I won't be programming linux until akide is ported to it (or at least editplus)...
