PlatformWin32/platformGL.h error?

by John Kabus (BobTheCBuilder) · in Torque Game Engine · 08/13/2003 (5:02 pm) · 7 replies

PlatformWin32/platformGL.h

contains the following lines at line 20:

#include "platformWin32/gl_types.h"
#define GL_FUNCTION(fn_return,fn_name,fn_args,fn_value) extern fn_return (__stdcall *fn_name)fn_args; 
#include "platformX86UNIX/gl_func.h"
#include "platformX86UNIX/glu_func.h"
#undef GL_FUNCTION

instead of:

#include "platformWin32/gl_types.h"
#define GL_FUNCTION(fn_return,fn_name,fn_args,fn_value) extern fn_return (__stdcall *fn_name)fn_args; 
[b]#include "platformWin32/gl_func.h"
#include "platformWin32/glu_func.h"[/b]
#undef GL_FUNCTION

my code is a little dated, sorry if this is already fixed.

John.

I seem to recall this was done to get rid of copyright references to Quake, or somesuch. So they changed all the x86 targets to use the mesa headers :)
I guess stock OpenGL headers could have been used, not sure.
I think the change in the cvs changelist is #3118

But they left the files in the source tree? That doesn't make sense, besides the files are nearly identical. The only issue I had was that I was adding new extensions to the win32 source and they were not available to the engine classes.

Could it be that having platform specific gl headers is pointless? I mean if the extension is not supported it's not in the extension string, no biggie.

Come to think of it, I'm going to put the references back to the X86Unix headers. Otherwise I'm just going to make the same changes twice (I think I see why it was this way in the first place :) ).

John.
