Hi All

I am trying to find a Kylix OpenGL 1.5 Template.

Does one exist?

If so, where can I download it?
Thank you in advance.

This file is actually part of Kylix. The problem is probably the case of the letters. You may test: xLib, XLib, Xlib.. Or simply search for the file If the first xlib the compiler finds is written in wrong case, it will complain, but if the first xlib found in a project is written right, the compiler seems not to have a problem with the case anymore.

Is there a Delphi version of this?

I would need to compile the app in both Kylix, and delphi.

Excuse my ignorance, Its my first venture into Kylix

No this would make no sense, as the xlib unit is only used for accessing the XServer, which is unix specific. It is only needed for initialization, so you won't need it under windows. You could use compiler directives, if you plan to use one initialization-unit for win32 and linux.

Or trying a work-around with something completly different using SDL. Currently we don't have any templates for kylix, but have a look at the freepascal template. It shall be easy to port it.

Hi Flow

I have tried using SDL, and it works, but I need to examine all the available options before I make a decision on what to use for the cross platform code.

I was thinking that perhaps I shoudl look into glut also.

Any of you guys used glut in kylix before?

Being dependend on lots of external libraries is a bad thing i think. Therefore i have a template for win32 and a template for Linux. My code comes in a unit. All i have to do then is compile it. Take a look at the template that comes with the gl3ds or gui example program.

This way i do not need glut sdl etc.

First I tried to use GLX but this didn't work. Then I tried GLUT but it didn't work too and now I 'm using SDL and it works.

I post my minimal linux opengl app again here:

In fact you shouldn hurry up with decision about libaries. But I think SDL is really the best possible way that is avaible. You do not need to write extra ports for window creation for windows and linux, nor do you need (for us windows programmers) exotic x libaries. I also think that SDL is really worth learning and as long as some commercial games (UT2004) are using SDL for their linux ports, I am quite sure it won't disappear from one day to the other. Blut in fact should be seen as absolute evil. Plz save your time and stay away
btw: Nice to see here some action

Yes, and SDL contains useful functions such as SDL_GetTicks() for animations.
