This is to announce the availability, via the PDL git repository, of a first cut version PDL with TriD using the perl OpenGL (a.k.a. POGL) module version 0.58_003 to replace PDL::Graphics::OpenGL (the original, internal, PP version).
The build configuration is hardwired with USE_POGL set in perldl.conf but it does compile correctly on cygwin/XP. I was able to run all the 3d demos from the perldl shell and even the Tk3d one (as long as I did not resize the window which caused the cygwin X server to crash). If you are interested in trying this out, some quick directions follow. I would be *very* interested to hear feedback from build attempts and any tests you run. It won't compile without an X infrastructure so MSWindows is out. However, it should build and run on Mac OS X, linux, solaris, *bsd,... in theory. Your feedback can make that a reality. STEPS: You need to install OpenGL-0.58_003 or later. One place to download is http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CH/CHM/OpenGL-0.58_003.tar.gz Get the latest pogl-merge branch from PDL git on sf.net: # Get a copy of the PDL repository git clone git://pdl.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pdl/pdl PDL # Change to the clone cd PDL # Checkout branch pogl-merge from sf.net repo to a local pogl-merge branch git checkout --track -b pogl-merge origin/pogl-merge # Download the data git pull Now you should be able to do the usual config/build process: perl Makefile.PL make make test # not all tests will pass due for new POGL/OpenGL Try to run some tests: perl -Mblib 3dtest perl -Mblib perldl (then try demo 3d, 3d2, 3dgal, or Tk3d for the gutsy) Feedback welcome. Enjoy! --Chris _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
