Hello,

Can anyone tell me if the GLU functions, gluSpehere etc are availble in DerelictOrg or have they been removed. I can replace these with my own versions, but was hoping to do a quick port to DerelictOrg

They are not available. See http://dblog.aldacron.net/2014/10/derelict-3-removed-from-dub-repository/

I'm not sure why they aren't part of the DerelictOrg. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to take https://github.com/aldacron/Derelict3/tree/master/import/derelict/freeglut and make a dub package out of it yourself, maybe even add it to code.dlang.org as derelict_extras-freeglut

Thanks John, it looks really simple. I'll see if I can get round to making a proper package from it.

It seems that Derelict3 contains GLUT whereas derelict2 containss GLU.

It appears I need GLU but I am somewhat confused as to what the diffrence is.

Whoops, yes you are right, my mistake.

Isn't glu considered legacy these days? I think it's entirely OpenGL 2.x. For the maths stuff see http://code.dlang.org/packages/gl3n

Yep. It still uses immediate mode, GL matrix functions, and all sorts of other stuff removed in OpenGL 3.1+ core.

Yes, thanks John. I will be using the legacy mode though :-) Not got around to the wizz bang stuff yet.

I intentionally did not port the Derelict3 GLU binding to DerelictOrg because it uses parts of the deprecated OGL API and is considered legacy these days. Initially, I didn't include support for the deprecated OGL API either, but there were enough requests for it that I finally added it. I have no intention of adding GLU, though. It's easily replaceable.

Thanks Mike, that's fair enough. I shall just implement the functions I need I think until such time as I end up using the newer OpenGL 3 stuff.
