Opengl bindings for Gnat

Opengl bindings for Gnat

[Phaedrus]

Does anybody know where I can find the OpenGl bindings
for Gnat?  Every time I find a link to them it turns out to be
a dead link.

Thanks, in advance!

How would one expect them to differ from any OpenGL bindings for Ada ?

If it were self contained (Didn't reference any other package(s)) then it
should be the same.  But, for instance, ever taken a look at the bindings
created for ObjectAda?   First of all, the opengl package is implemented
as a child package of the "win32" package, and both rely on a small
mountain of types created in still other packages.  Sure, I could chase it
down and end up with pretty much the same set as ObjectAda, but why
should I?  According to some sites a nice binding is available somewhere
(Darned if I can find it!) for Gnat, which should make it a piece of cake.

In other words, I'm lazy and I'd rather not re-invent the wheel, if at all
possible.

Sounds like the same as GNAT. Thry looking in:

\GNAT\Bindings\Win32Ada

I have a GLUT and OpenGL demos on my Web site ported to GNAT. It uses the
Win32.Gl package for the OpenGL part.

    I am working on a radiosity program. It gives the solution using
    OpenGL. I use gnat, gtkada and gtkada-opengl, but there are not a
    unique OpenGL bindings, so I have to write an intermetiate package
    with two bodies, one for Linux OpenGL, and other for Win32.OpenGL.
    Why not only one OpenGL binding? How many OpenGL+Ada are there? May
    be, we have to do a better binding for GNUAda?
