I'm collecting the parts needed for my next project, and will be
needing OpenGL for it. I've got the cl-opengl cffi bindings to work
with sbcl on my leopard/ppc system and on linux/x86. Openmcl includes
its own FFI & opengl bindings, which worked out of the box. However, I
don't like either of them. The Openmcl version is especially ugly.

On the cliki opengl page, there are references to 'nameless bindings'.
What does that mean, and how is it different from the bindings I
mentioned above?

Neil

Dunno.  Have you tried cl-glfw?

Never heard of it. But it looks pretty good. Thanks for the pointer.

Still wondering what 'nameless' means in this context though.

That they have no name, probably...  They seem to be "those opengl
bindings that allegro has".
