#757 OpenGL detection for macOS
In macOS, OpenGL libraries are packaged in a framework (OpenGL.framework) and headers are in unsual path (OpenGL instead of GL) and not deceted by CheckLibWithHeader('GL', 'GL/gl.h', ...) in SConstruct.
As OpenGL should be always present in macOS, we could just end up with something like env.Append(LINKFLAGS = ["-framework OpenGL"]) for darwin platform.
I am extremely confident that nobody's going to pay attention to these bugs. I suggest you submit a patch when you're done fixing all the bugs, and someone may will probably pay attention to whether it breaks compiling on linux.
Concur with zeromus. I'm all for portability, but can only put so much effort into portability for a system that I can't even run in a VM. Patches are welcome on this front.

Okay, I'll try and submit a patch if it works. It's not a show-stopper since fceux still works without OpenGL support. By the way, I just wondered what advantages we could expect from enabling OpenGL here.
likely to be nil, unless theres a way to go fullscreen at 1080p using software instead of opengl, in which case the advantage would be your toaster-computer can achieve it at 60fps
