1. Re: OpenGl again.
Hello all,
I'm still very excited about this topic being brought up again. I think
that if Euphoria is to survive it needs a widely supported graphics api
(thats just my opinion).
While I was trouble shooting OpenGL I ran Dr. Watson and it produced this
log file, perhaps this may be of help.
Has any one written a wrapper for another DLL that requires multiple
callbacks? I may be the way Euphoria handles multiple callbacks that is
incompatible with OpenGL.
Many Thanks
Paul Martin
