Don't know exactly where to post this, so I hope the bindbc team will see the post here in learn.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have bindbc OpenGL ES bindings ?

I'm working on porting my 3D Engine to Android, and well Android doesn't support anything else but OpenGL ES... I saw that derelict has OpenGL ES bindings, but would rather not migrate back to using derelict (since it took me a couple of hours to migrating everything to bindbc)

Thanks for all your solid bindings and hard work!

Kind regards,
Danny

I have never tried, but this repo may help. I know that it supports d.

You can create your modules online too.

Thanks, it seems to generate most of the bindings, even though the D branch of the repo is 5 years stale.

It doesn't provide an example on how to load them (only c and c++), and since the (generated) loader isn't implemented, but just an alias to some unknown function:

alias Loader = void* delegate(const(char)*);

I really love to have the bindings in bindbc, due to their nogc and nothrow attributes.

It might be a useful addition to make D more compatible with the android eco-system

If you have some super boring time to spent, you can convert derelict one to bind-bc. Once I did it for a relatively small library (derelict-nanovg -> bindbc-nanovg).

I can make time for it sometime this week.

Thanks so much Mike,

I really appreciate it, your contributions to D and the ecosystem
are really amazing. I think OpenGL ES will be a very useful
addition. Especially, now that it's easier than ever to use LDC2
to compile for Android.

Hey Mike,

Started with OpenGL ES bindings in bindbc style, find them here:
