glVertexPointer and GNAT for Win32

glVertexPointer and GNAT for Win32

[Michael Andersson]

Hi!
Could somebody please tell me if glVertexPointer and glNormalPointer is
supported in GNAT for Win32?
The compiler dosen't seam to find it so i guess it isn't. Why is this?
How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance!

No GNAT does not support OpenGL nor any other Ada compiler. This is a binding
problem. You should tell us what binding you are using.

Hi!
I use GTKAda binding to create the GUI but the GL_H.ads file referese to
the win32-gl.ads file that comes with GNAT.

No surprise here. Win32.GL is not the right thing to use since it is based on
GLAUX which is a Microsoft copyrighted library. You should use GLUT instead of
GLAUX. Have a look at my homepage for some GLUT/OpenGL demos.

Note that GLUT is available on Windows and UNIX where GLAUX is Windows only.

Now I have never tried GtkAda + GLUT, you could maybe ask in the GtkAda
mailing list.

Pascal.
