[Plib-devel] commandline conversion program

[<br...@sa...>]

Hi,

I'm dusting off my command-line converter tool, which is based
on plib's ssg.

I chose to load/save ssg files *without* creating an OpenGL
context first. This used to work.

Now, the loading of a texture fails, because OpenGL calls
are made when loading a texture. (The PROXY_TEXTURE load).

I see two solutions:

- I cave in, and create an OpenGL window, call ssgInit,
  and then do the fmt conversion.
  The convertor is no longer a cmdline prog, but a full
  OpenGL prog.

- ssg.cxx's IsValidContext is made available to ssgTexture.cxx
  which ignores the failure of PROXY_TEXTURE generation if
  there is no context. (Or better yet: mipmaps are never created
  without the context).

Both approaches seem ugly to me.
Any advice from the list?

thx,

  Bram
