Re: GL/gl.h and libopengl32.a

Hi,

Could somebody update GL/gl.h and regenerate libopengl32.a for a more
recent OpenGL version?

Thanks,
Daniel Wesslen
If you mean updating to GL 1.2 or 2.0, no, it will not be done because it cannot be done. libopengl32.a contains the the symbols for M$ %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\opengl32.dll and is up to date, supporting only OpenGL 1.1.

To use OpenGL 1.2 or 2.0 with it, you have to use extensions; see www.opengl.org for a how-to.

Another possibility might be to use Mesa, for which I have no pointer.

Sorry.
