Re: [Mesa3d-users] Problems linking GLUI with Mesa on Windows

[Alexander M. <ale...@ni...>]

That certainly makes sense, and explains why I get the error - because the
GLUI is trying to call a GLUT function that doesn't exist. That must mean
the problem is that the version of GLUI is incompatible with the version of
GLUT, so the problem has nothing to do with Mesa.

By the way, is it possible to link OSMesa with a GLUT library other than the
one included in Mesa, or will it only work if you link it with the Mesa one?

I've never heard/seen the glutCreateNoClose[Sub]Window() functions. 
They're not in the original/Kilgard GLUT included with Mesa.

Maybe they're extensions in freeglut or OpenGLUT?
