gl.inc - Open GL problem in PB 9

[dean goodman]

I just ordered and receive PB 9 as an upgrade from PB 8.

I tried to compile my code in PB 9 and the new compiler has an issue at the line:

DECLARE SUB glCallLists LIB "opengl32.dll" ALIAS "glCallLists" (BYVAL n AS GLsizei, BYVAL ntype AS GLenum, BYVAL lists AS ANY)

write at the "lists" variable


The gl.inc i am using is from 2003 (see the following)- it compiles fine in pb8 :

OpenGL "gl.inc" for PowerBASIC-Windows 7.0x *
'* Port Version 1.0d (March 28, 2003) *
'* *
'* by Scott Martindale ([email protected]) ....


Does anyone know if the Open GL libraries have been updated for PB 9 and if so, where they can be gotten... thanks..

An early thread by Petr suggests to make the "AS ANY" to "AS Long"....

I did this and was able to compile...

Hi Dean,

what I recommend now is to get headers from José - they cover latest enhancements in OpenGL and headers for old one are 100% correct.

Thanks to this fact I am using such a latest technology with PB as OpenGL 3.0 is Some drivers do not support it yet but José has headers for it already

Get Josés power pack here:
Josés headers 1.10

Um, changing DECLAREd procedure parameters to "AS ANY" will enable almost anything to compile.

Unfortunately, that changes what the compiler sends that procedure, and I'd bet a lot the procedure will not be terribly understanding come execution time.

BYVAL AS ANY is not longer allowed.

Being this parameter a void pointer, BYREF AS ANY is appropriate.

lists
Specifies the address of an array of name offsets in the display list. The pointer type is void because the offsets can be bytes, shorts, ints, or floats, depending on the value of type.

Hey, that was a thing I sent in! (Does it count as a new feature to REMOVE something?)

Where was that... oh, I remember now...someone has posted here a "header" file for an older version of the LIBHARU PDF library rife with 'BYVAL AS ANY' parameters, which did not make any sense to me, probably because it doesn't.
