opengl bindings for nodejs

Installation

Building

Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dev

node-waf configure build test

Status

• works on linux
• nehe tutorials 3-5 have been ported
• osx port on its way (works, but segfaults randomly)

Somewhat working!

node-ogl's Issues

Cannot build on osx

Couple things need to be fixed before this will work

• Since the headers were generated using mesa there are some mesa specific methods that dont resolve
• osx uses OpenGL/*.h for headers, so a common.h file will need to be hand-created with #ifdefs

Segfaulting on ubuntu 9.04 (no return value)

The fix here is simple.

return Undefined(); 

on methods that don't have a return value.

Utilize node-sfml

it is a great windowing lib, that should be pretty simple to integrate.

test/sanity.js is returning `undefined`

There seems to be an issue with the latest binding that causes the following output:

$ node test/sanity.js 
Module included.
enabling GL_LINE_SMOOTH (2848)
ret: undefined
Is GL_LINE_SMOOTH enabled? undefined
Error: undefined
{ reference: true, value: 0.11, type: 'GLfloat' }
delta is now: 10.1

Sanity tests should be ran after a build, and included in a package.json under the scripts.test section

cannot compile on ubuntu 9.10
