Dear Kate,
Could you post a note where the relevant repositories for fermantle and open GL
are ?
OpenGL-ES development libraries are part of Fremantle SDK
Imagination SDK can be loaded from
http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdk/KhronosOpenGLES2xSGX.asp
The Imagination SDK contains lots of example applicatins etc.
Qt OpenGL is included in Qt Fremantle port that is in extras-devel
repository
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free non-free

Subject: Fremantle OpenGL wrapper?
Hi all,
I'm not much of a developer, but I really think it would be a good idea to get
a couple OpenGL wrappers ready for Fremantle.
What do you like the wrapper do ? If you like to get easiest way to run OpenGL
you can take example skeleton
from Imagination OpenGL-ES2.0 examples. They run in Fremantle, you just need to
compile them
or then you can take Qt GLWidget as it is done in hellogl_es2 that is part of
Qt4.5 source.
I also runs nicely in Fremantle.
Good thing using Qt as a wrapper is that you can use full GL but you can mix it
with Qt UI widgets
or QGraphicsWiew higer level drawing primitives.

I have a thread on talk.maemo.org<http://talk.maemo.org>[1], but maybe I should
be posting here too.

I think there should be a wrapper for applications that use OpenGL directly,
and maybe an SDL library for games that use OpenGL via SDL.
There's work in this area for the Pandora, but I haven't seen much yet for
Maemo devices.
I propose starting with a simple test game like Armagetron Advanced [2], which
actually runs on an N800 at 3 fps with software OpenGL rendering. This game
uses SDL and the mesa GL libraries, which suggests that an SDL library like the
one developed for the Pandora [3] might work here.

Like I said, I'm not really a developer, and I can't really take these ideas
and make them happen. But I'm paying close enough attention to these things to
see that this seems to be an important gap in the available software right now.
I would prefer comments on my talk.maemo.org<http://talk.maemo.org> thread, but
you can discuss here, too.
