As the nominal author and maintainer of those bindings, let me express my regret that they aren't meeting your needs. > They need to be for OpenGL, not Mesa. I am nearly certain that SGI has such bindings for sale. There are, so I am told, also some fairly complete(?) and presumably tested(?) OpenGL (not Mesa) bindings as part of the larger Win32 API bindings, if Microsoft is your persuasion. I would, however, be curious to hear what Mesa-specific code exists in the NiEstu bindings that make them unsuitable for your needs. I'd like to limit or eradicate that sort of thing. > We would prefer to use complete and tested bindings if they can be found. Man, me too! But there weren't any that I could find, so I took those bindings as far as I needed them to go at the time. Thus parts of them (like glX) are still incomplete. Like most open-source software, they scratch a particular set of itches and may leave others unabraded. I'd gladly incorporate any suitable changes or enhancements that you or your team needed, but it sounds like you are looking for a more, hm, commercial solution. But if you can't find what you are looking for, building on our foundation might be better than starting totally from scratch. If you should find yourself considering such a course of action, I would very much appreciate keeping a single code base if that's at all possible. So keep in touch. > Any help will be greatly appreciated... Ditto. You are welcome to join the OGLADA-L mailing list (details on the above-mentioned somewhat outdated web page) long enough to ask your question there (or forever, if you wish), or else I can post it there for you and we can see if any of the subscribers happen to have any relevant information. -- Chip
