Bug #69130 for Prima: Feature Request: OpenGL context/widget support

Tue Jun 28 13:37:45 2011 chm [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Feature Request: OpenGL context/widget support

I'm impressed with the cross-platform portability of
the Prima library and toolkit. However, my application
involves 3-D graphics display and animation.

Are there any plans to support OpenGL context in
windows or widgets?

Regards,
Chris

Could be cool, will try to look into it. If you want to, you're welcome to participate.

Hi Chris, My mail server crashed and won't come up, so I can't get to access my mail for the las two days. I'm writing here until it is fixed, but I'd like ask you to look at this proof of concept I wrote in the last two days: https://github.com/dk/Prima-OpenGL I still believe that the common code abstracted in win32.c and x11.c (and especially parsing of GL attributes) would be probably better off as a part of OpenGL distribution. It would require more C-level integration with other toolkits though, for passing around the existing display connection handle, GUI font handles, and possibly image bits. /dk

Thanks, I'll give it a go this evening. Show quoted text

I like the idea of putting context code (in some portable abstraction) in Perl OpenGL (a.k.a., POGL) and enabling GUI toolkits to provide any needed functionality *to* POGL. This would allow for support of any GUI toolkit(s) that could work with OpenGL contexts. --Chris

I just tried a quick test build from the README and for some reason it is trying to to a win32 build on my cygwin install. I'll drill down into the build process to see if I can determine what is going on. Regards, Chris Show quoted text

Before I get to debugging the cygwin build, I figured I would try building Prima::OpenGL with strawaberry perl portable: (1) Prima and OpenGL::Prima built out-of-the-box for strawberry perl portable v5.10.1.2 (2) Prima fails to build for strawberry perl portable version v5.12.3.0 with the error message: g++.exe -mdll -s -L"C:\ftp\perl\strawberry\v5.12.3\v5_12_3_0\perl\lib\CORE" -L"C:\ftp\perl\strawberry\v5.12.3\v5_12_3_0\c\lib" -LC:\ftp\perl\strawberry\v5.12.3\v5_12_3_0\c\lib -LC:\ftp\perl\strawberry\v5.12.3\v5_12_3_0\perl\lib\CORE -o auto\Prima\Prima.dll AbstractMenu.o AccelTable.o Application.o Clipboard.o Component.o DeviceBitmap.o Drawable.o File.o Icon.o Image.o Menu.o Object.o Popup.o primguts.o Printer.o Timer.o Utils.o Widget.o Widget_geometry.o Window.o img\bc_color.o img\bc_const.o img\bc_extra.o img\codec_bmp.o img\codec_jpeg.o img\codec_png.o img\codec_tiff.o img\codec_ungif.o img\codec_Xpm.o img\codecs.o img\conv.o img\ic_conv.o img\img.o img\imgscale.o img\imgtype.o img\put.o win32\apc.o win32\clip.o win32\cursor.o win32\dev.o win32\files.o win32\global.o win32\gp.o win32\misc.o win32\stock.o win32\timers.o -lXpm -lgif -ltiff -lpng -ljpeg -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 -luuid -lws2_32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 -lodbccp32 -lcomctl32 -lgcc -lgdi32 -lmpr -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -lperl512 win32/Prima.def c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingw32.a(lib32_libmingw32_a-gccmain.o): In function `_do_global_ctors': /opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-crt/../mingw-w64-crt/crt/gccmain.c:46: multiple definition of `__do_global_ctors' c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/libgcc.a(__main.o):/opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/libgcc/../../../gcc44-svn/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c:2160: first defined here c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingw32.a(lib32_libmingw32_a-gccmain.o): In function `_main': /opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-crt/../mingw-w64-crt/crt/gccmain.c:80: multiple definition of `__main' c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/libgcc.a(__main.o):/opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/libgcc/../../../gcc44-svn/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c:2184: first defined here c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingw32.a(lib32_libmingw32_a-gccmain.o): In function `_do_global_dtors': /opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-crt/../mingw-w64-crt/crt/gccmain.c:28: multiple definition of `__do_global_dtors' c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/libgcc.a(__main.o):/opt/W64_156151-src.32/build-gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/libgcc/../../../gcc44-svn/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c:2131: first defined here c:/ftp/perl/strawberry/v5.12.3/v5_12_3_0/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingw32.a(lib32_libmingw32_a-gccmain.o):gccmain.c:(.text+0x15a): undefined reference to `_imp__FreeLibrary@4' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status dmake.exe: Error code 129, while making 'auto\Prima\Prima.dll' KARASIK/Prima-1.30.tar.gz C:\ftp\perl\strawberry\v5.12.3\v5_12_3_0\c\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Failed during this command: KARASIK/Prima-1.30.tar.gz : make NO I'm not sure where to start with this one but it is working for one version of strawberry perl portable.

Published Prima::OpenGL, which works against the latest github sources of Prima. Next release 1.31 should work out of box with it.

Thanks for the update, Dmitry. I'm in the process of refactoring
OpenGL to use GLEW for the bindings which is taking a while.
Lots of lines of code to do and check. I'll keep you posted when
I catch up to the GUI library support part.

Hi Chris, Yes, this is the status of how far I got the intergration between Prima and OpenGL... I see that you have other ideas, with PDL, IPA etc etc, and this is really great, I'm just not mentally flexible enough to jump in and code that too. It could be great to see OpenGL's code tightened, working in more evnvironments, with more modern software, etc etc, as soon I see a possibility to join in, I'd definitely do. Thanks for your efforts! ;) /dk On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 08:28:34AM -0400, Chris Marshall via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Hi Dmitry- The multi-window support is *very* cool. Thanks! One thing I noticed on trying it out was that toggling off and on for the lighting resulted in no lighting in that window. Cloning another copy would show lighting again. That would disappear if the setting was toggled on then off.
