Linux (openSUSE), Ada (GNAT) + OpenGL (MESA) = possible?

[reinkor]

Could anybody give a hint on how to use OpenGL (Mesa)
from Ada (GNAT) under linux (for example openSUSE 12.2) ?

There are some examples in the GtkAda/testgtk/opengl, shown in the 
testgtk application.

I have a working-but-partial OpenGL binding over here: https://github.com/OneWingedShark/TAO-GL

It has at least all the functions included through OpenGL 1.1, though all of them updated for the enumerations of the 4.3 version. (I haven't gotten around to the additional [1.2+] functions yet; also it needs a bit of a rework to be able to [automatically] take advantage of the dynamic enumerations instead of only going with the bare-minimums.)

Made an attempt:

gnatmake -gnat2012 Test.adb

Got:

tao_gl-functions.adb:18:69: missing ";"
tao_gl-functions.adb:19:09: "With" can only appear in context clause
tao_gl-functions.adb:20:40: missing ";"
tao_gl-functions.adb:21:09: "With" can only appear in context clause
tao_gl-functions.adb:22:36: missing ";"
tao_gl-functions.adb:23:09: "With" can only appear in context clause
tao_gl-functions.adb:24:20: missing ";"


...etc...

I had to rename for example tao_gl.functions.adb to tao_gl-functions.adb

You use linux?  (I used here linux/openSUSE 12.2).

Sorry, I should use "gnatmake -Ptao_gl.gpr ..." ?

Need to get things via teaspoon :-)

That'd probably work better -- it sets up the things like dot-replacement (off in that project's case) and such.

Those sound like errors caused by the compiler not recognizing aspects, which were introduced w/ Ada 2012, so won't compile if you're using an 83/95/2005 compiler.

Nope, windows.
Should still work, I don't think I've done anything platform-specific.
(The multiple-dot filenames shouldn't be a problem, but Linux is... funny about filenames.)
