Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / April 2007Perl OpenGL 0.55 - Need Mac testers
A new Perl OpenGL 0.55 candidate has been released: http://graphcomp.com/opengl This release has focused on providing support for GPGPU features, and adds support for 52 OpenGL extensions, including Framebuffer Object (FBO), Vertex Buffer Object (VBO) and Vertex/Fragment Program extensions. This has been testing on Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu/Gentoo), Windows (NT/XP/Vista) and Solaris. We have received 0 reports from Mac developers, and would love to have your feedback before submitting this release to CPAN. Thanks! - Bob Free > A new Perl OpenGL 0.55 candidate has been released: > http://graphcomp.com/opengl [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > would love > to have your feedback before submitting this release to CPAN. It needed a few tweaks to build, but once the build issues were sorted, the spinning texture-mapped cube test runs fine on my G4 w/ ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. Diff with the build changes is attached, if anyone else feels like testing it. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Sherm Pendley wrote on Thu, Apr 19, 2007 at 01:10:11PM PDT: > It needed a few tweaks to build, but once the build issues were > sorted, the spinning texture-mapped cube test runs fine on my G4 w/ > ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. > > Diff with the build changes is attached, if anyone else feels like > testing it. Thanks Sherm. With your tweaks, it also builds and tests fine on my Mac Mini w/ATI Radeon 9200. - David  Signature"I'm going to put your inner child to work in a factory." -- James Stoner-Holk > Sherm Pendley wrote on Thu, Apr 19, 2007 at 01:10:11PM PDT: >> It needed a few tweaks to build, but once the build issues were [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Mac > Mini w/ATI Radeon 9200. As does it on my MacBook (first gen) w/ Intel GMA950 with the patch applied running 10.4.9 Compiled and tested with 5.8.6 (the one Apple ships): No warnings, no errors 5.8.8: Got a warning: OpenGL.c: In function 'XS_OpenGL_glutInit': OpenGL.xs:11329: warning: ignoring return value of 'Perl_av_shift', declared with attribute warn_unused_result however it runs just fine 5.6.2: No warnings, no errors /claes On 19 apr 2007, at 23.21, David Romano wrote: > Sherm Pendley wrote on Thu, Apr 19, 2007 at 01:10:11PM PDT: >> It needed a few tweaks to build, but once the build issues were [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Mac > Mini w/ATI Radeon 9200. and on my G5 with nVidia GeForce 6800.

Sherm, For dummies like me can you please describe the process of installing. Where does the .diff file go etc? I put the file in OpenGL-0.55/, did perl Makefile.PL and got ... ... Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lMesaGLUT No OpenGL libs found so obviously that was a bad guess :-) JD >> It needed a few tweaks to build, but once the build issues were >> sorted, the spinning texture-mapped cube test runs fine on my G4 w/ [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > For dummies like me can you please describe the process of > installing. Where does the .diff file go etc? Diffs are used as input for the 'patch' command. On my machine: local:~/incoming/OpenGL-0.55 sherm$ patch -p1 < ../OpenGL-0.55- Macosx.diff patching file MANIFEST Hunk #1 FAILED at 68. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file MANIFEST.rej patching file Makefile.PL patching file glu_util.h patching file include/GL/glut.h patching file utils/Makefile.macosx I'm not sure why the patch to the MANIFEST file was rejected, it just adds a single line. It won't cause test failures, but the 'utils/ Makefile.macosx' file won't be included in the distribution tarball without it. :-( sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net > I'm not sure why the patch to the MANIFEST file was rejected, it > just adds a single line.

I piped the first diff to BBEdit, then saved it; I redirected this one straight to a file instead, and it applies cleanly. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net --As of April 19, 2007 8:46:13 PM -0400, Sherm Pendley is alleged to have said: >> I'm not sure why the patch to the MANIFEST file was rejected, it >> just adds a single line.

I first got it working on Mac OS X 10.0 some six or seven years ago, but the docs more or less said it had been abandoned. I sent my patch to the last listed owner, but never heard back from him. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net |
