[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: opengl-1.1.0-9


Version 1.1.0-9 of the opengl package has been released.
 
This package contains OpenGL-related libraries: GLUT, GLUI, and GLUIX librairies 
to develop portable OpenGL programs that do not require an X server to run. 
These programs can display through the native Windows interface (Win32) 
and benefit from hardware and driver acceleration.

This update should solve the problems that have been reported after the 
release of new X server, such as:
 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00022.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-12/msg00003.html
 
The problems were due to some conflict with the last version of
the libGL-devel, libGLU-devel, libglut-devel packages. See:
 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00037.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00043.html
 
Unfortunately, users of the opengl package might have to change the way they 
build their applications. See:
 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-11/msg00056.html
 
There is a remaining conflict with the w32api package, with a workaround. 
I am currently working with the w32api maintainers to solve it. Another
update might be coming soon.
 
Exerbs from the updated README.txt:
 
>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<
 
What has changed since opengl-1.1.0-8
-------------------------------------
 
A new symbolic link, /usr/include/opengl/GL -> /usr/include/w32api/GL was
added to be able to compile native OpenGL, GLU, GLUT, GLUI, and GLUIX program 
when the libGL-devel, libGLU-devel, libglut-devel packages are also installed. 
In that case, compiling with -I/usr/include/opengl is REQUIRED, 
otherwise the headers from libGL-devel, libGLU-devel, libglut-devel will be 
used, leading to missing functions at link time. If the libGL-devel, 
libGLU-devel, libglut-devel package are not installed, 
you can compile as usual.
 
usr/lib/glut32.lib is now provided. It should used instead of libglut32.a.
 
A bug introduced in opengl-1.1.0-6 was corrected in glut.h. The bug caused the
program to continue to run in the background if its window was closed by using
the close (X) icon in the title bar. If you prefer to keep that behavior, you 
must recompile with -DGLUT_DISABLE_ATEXIT_HACK .
 
glut-examples was added to /usr/lib.
 
The helloGLUT example program was improved.
 
FAQ.txt was added.
