Title: gles?
Post by: jls on August 07, 2012, 07:56:06 PM

Hi
looking at the config.log of evas I see it is looking for a file called glesv2.pc which is missing in "our" repo. I've read that is fair enough to enable gles.

It's not really useful on desktop systems right now. More of a mobile thing.

sorry curaga due to disturb
but i would ask why do you think so
and where can find out more about this?
once i tried to build gambas3 but his gb.opengl module
also requires gles and glu which provided by mesalib
therefore i dally off it

The GLES drivers for the desktop are not really mature. The api is mainly used on mobile platforms (android, ios).

Read: if gambas uses gles (and only gles with no gl path), it likely won't run on your desktop.

but thank you very much for your helpful remarks
i will keep this in mind when back to this again :)

I just tried to configure gambas 3.2.1 (damn it loves recursive configuration, that took long). It uses regular opengl, not gles.

i don't know why but i remember
that i could not make gb.opengl with regular opengl
therefore i thought that it requires mesalib

p.s.
i also remembered that i found it in gambas3 dependencies in debian

Did you manage to get gambas working?  I'm interested in using tcl and gambas for a project.

I didn't build it, merely checked the configuration out of curiosity, sorry. I'm not really into basic, last I did that was over ten years ago.
