Hello.all,

    Has anyone had any success using openGL in GtkAda ?

    I tried a quick test today and although the 'Gtk.GLArea' and 
'Gdk.GLContext' packages are present, I was unable to get a GL context.

    Also, the testgtk program has no openGL demo, as it used to have.

    I used openGL/GtkAda to good effect many years ago. Has openGL 
support then been dropped completely ?

    I recall there was a Gtk3 bug related to openGL and thought that 
might possibly be the reason why it is absent in GtkAda. Does GtkAda use 
Gtk4, yet ?

    I'm quite keen to try my hand at game programming (and have 
developed an Ada game engine library), so any advice/info would be 
greatly appreciated.


Regards.
