Re: [Freeglut-developer] Thoughts on the OS X build

Paul,

         Let's start with my copy of MSVC 6.0, which is copyright 1994-1998.

         I think I have an Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics 
Controller.  Does that sound about right?

         When I try running "smooth_opengl3", execution goes until it 
reaches the call to "gl_GenBuffers", at which point it terminates on 
error as the value of the function pointer is null.

                 - John
