Using OpenGL in Ada on Win2k

Using OpenGL in Ada on Win2k

[me]

I am trying to setup my computer so that Ada can invoke OpenGL.  Setting
up Ada to do
OpenGL is so new to me that I am not even sure what to ask.

I downloaded the GL, GLU, GLUT, and MUI files but I am either missing
other files
or I am missing an INCLUDE directory in my building process.  What am I
overlooking?

The gnatlink command is saying that the glut.adb has undefined
references to several
glut routines like GlutCreateWindow, GlutSetWindowTitle, etc.

Suggestions?

TIA,
Bruce

Have you linked in gl32, glu32?  These are the windows opengl software mode
drivers located in the windows directory.  I think you can also link to hw
accelerated drivers but am not sure how to do so.  IIRC glut also needs a
dll to work, which should be available from the same place as the glut
source files (if it didn't include it already).

I included the WINNT in my "include" path.  Let me go back and re-check.

Thanks,

Did you get the glut dll?

There is an example of programming OpenGL with GWindows at
http://www.adapower.com/gwindows

You may want to take a look there as well.

For OpenGL  programming you may also have a look at

www.adapower.com/schroer

There a complete Ada95 framework above OpenGL for Win32 is contained.
If you have problems downloading stuff you may contact me.
Meanwhile I have a more portable GLUT-implementation of the program.
The docu. is not yet ready but you may have the sources.
