D - Help with DUI openGL on Windows

Help with DUI openGL on Windows needed.

I was trying to get it going but I have
an "access violation" on a GtkGlExt call.

libduigl and the gl test programs do compile.

The problem is that I don't know where to start looking.

One thing: I used the converted mesa3D C headers from
my linux system. Do you think I should get the headers 
from the windows somehow? How do I do that?
I believe dig has those headers, maybe I'll try
those tomorow.

Any help/hint to save me some time is welcome.

thanks

Mesa use the same headers on Windows, so that
shouldn't be a problem. In theory.

I'll play around with it too, and see what I get.

I guess one could convert the DigitalMars OpneGL C header or the Mingw 
one to a complete import library (probably done already).  From 
investigation of DIG, Burton did an extern (windows) { /*opengl 
functions here */ } within net\BurtonRadons\dig\windows\canvasGL.  So 
it's tied into the CanvasGL class.  But it should be easy enough to 
copy.  Note that he uses the windows specifice wiggle (wgl) function for 
opengl context control.

The opengl enums are separate in net\BurtonRadons\dig\common\glEnums.d.

Then again there's Pavels old opengl 1.1 import lib at 
http://int19h.tamb.ru . But with this library I think you need to use 
his SDL import lib for video mode setting. (Does gtk take care of all 
screen resolution and video context control?).

Don't know if that's any help.

Later,

John

In the above post, in the places that I said import library, I meant 
import module.

That's an idea, I never changed extern(C) to 
extern(windows)!
That might fixed the access violation on the combo box
(drop down)!
(Few places require direct access to the data struct but
combo box is one of them)

I doubt I can do
version(window) extern(windows)
version(linux) extern(c)
{
..
}

but I can try... later this evening.

You are quite right: see the thread
aliasing linkage identifiers
from september 19th.
