Hello hackers,

I'm working on an API that allows me to call OpenGL (Mesa, actually) and
GLUT from Allegro Common Lisp.

Is anyone out there interested in this project?

I've got bindings and some simple examples, but I need help debugging it.
In particular, I'm having problems with GLUT event handling and callbacks.

Please send me Email if you're interested...

Thanks,

Richard Mann

Hi,

Harlequin's LispWorks already ships with an OpenGL interface. If you're not in
a position to switch vendor (:-j) then it may be worth standardizing an OpenGL
binding for Common Lisp. To contact Harlequin in either case:
···············@harlequin.com or ·················@harlequin.com.

I'm interested but would be more interested in an OpenGL-like
sybsystem in CLIM.

PS.  I hacked a GLUT extension to RScheme that allows you to call
some GLUT and OpenGL functions interactively.  I changed jobs,
stopped working on that project, and thus avoided callback issues. 
My prototype is at:
