Hi Chris, I am trying to upgrade/install PDL 2.4.7 with the new OpenGL and I am
having issues with the OpenGL install. The attached jpeg file is the error I
get.
I am running Vista32 Enterprise with SP1, the latest MinGW, GRWin version to
support PGPlot, and ActivePerl 5.10 and had previously installed PDL 2.45 using
ppm with the uwinnipeg and activestate repositories.
PDL did seem to upgrade correctly to 2.4.7, at least perldl cli reported 2.4.7.
However, the OpenGL portion and other graphics portions did not upgrade
correctly. The only one that worked was the demo pgplot, and it only worked the
first time as later attempts would call out the error that is in the
pgplot_error.txt file.
I have tried 3 different sequences of upgrading PDL to 2.4.7.
1) first time I left everything as from 2.4.5 - apparently I had the
freeglut.dll in the C:\Windows\System32 directory already, but I couldn't find
the include and lib dirs for freeglut in the MinGW directories. Possibly it was
installed when I had installed OpenGl using the ppm from the uwinnipeg repo.
This produced the same error as in the jpeg file with the exception that the
_gluti...@4 instead of the @8.
2) Next I grabbed the latest MinGW and Martin Payne's freeglut .dll and the
associated include and lib files and placed them in the requested c:\Program
Files\Common Files\MinGW\freeglut\ as well as into the MinGW include and lib
dirs C:\MinGW\include\GL, C:\mingGW\lib. Same error as in the jpeg.
3) Next I grabbed the freeglut source and used VisualStudioExpress 2010 to
build the .dll using the included VC2008 project files. I then replaced the
freeglut.dll in the System32 directory with the newly built one. When I try to
install OpenGL 0.63 I still get the attached error.
I don't know why the pgplot demo fails the second time, nor do I know why I am
getting the OpenGL errors as the freeglut demos seem to work (except the
fractal one which complains that it can't find the .dat file - and neither
could I).
Any ideas? I could delete the PDL directory and the OpenGL directory and any
others and try the cpan install again if you think that would help.
Thanks,

Subject: [Perldl] PDL-2.4.7 released to CPAN
All PDL Users-
The PDL Development team is happy to announce the PDL-2.4.7 release of PDL.
This is another point release with lots of goodies and many bugs fixed.
This release could not have happened without the hard work of developers: Chris
Marshall, David Mertens, Daniel Carrera, Henning Glawe, Craig DeForest,
Rob/Sisyphus, Derek Lamb, Matthew Kenworth, and Shlomi Fish and the feedback
and contributions of many PDL users and the PDL community in general.
Enjoy and Happy PDL-ing!
Chris Marshall
and the PDL Development Team
Release notes for PDL 2.4.7 --------------------------
General Notes:
* New requirements:
- perl version 5.8.x and higher
- OpenGL-0.63
- Convert::UU
* New 2-D image display routine: imag2d()
* pdl() constructor, a.k.a. PDL->new(), now
takes string arguments with either MATLAB type
concatenation syntax or PDL print output (for
easier cut-and-paste from PDL shell sessions).
* Improved text and comma separated value file
input via rcols(): faster and more flexible.
* A new PDL shell based on Devel::REPL (i.e.,
Moose technology). The new shell supports
more perl syntax (lexical variables and
packages), is more extensible (via a system
of plugins), and supports many forms of file
and variable completion.
Install Devel::REPL and give it a try!
User feedback welcome.
* More portability (builds on more platforms
with more features than ever).
* Many bugs fixed...
Highlights:
* General
OpenGL-0.63 is required for PDL::Graphics::TriD.
Convert::UU is required for PDL.
Karma is DEPRECATED and NOT SUPPORTED. Set
USE_KARMA=>1 in perldl.conf to force a build.
* New 2D Image Display Feature: imag2d()
See PDL::Graphics2D for documentation.
Add image pixel value display on mouse
click in imag2d window
Add keyboard command shortcuts for imag2d
(with placeholders)
Fix a number of imag2d() usabiilty bugs
* pdl() Constructor Can Take String Input
Allows use of MATLAB-style [ ; ] syntax
Allows cut-and-paste of printed pdl values
as input args for pdl()
* rcols/wcols Improvements
Much faster read times
Multiple columns can read into a single
pdl varible
Symmetric handling of perl and pdl
column data
Improved format support for CSV file input
* Enhanced PDL Shell (Version 2)
Based on Devel::REPL which must be installed
along with either Term::ReadLine::Perl or
Term::ReadLine::Gnu to use the pdl2 features.
Supports Term::ReadLine::Perl and Term::ReadLine::Gnu.
Upward compatable with the original PDL shell, perldl.
Adds completion and command line editing support
across all PDL platforms.
Adds support for current package and lexical variables.
Toggle default print output via the do_print attribute.
Default prompt for perldl and pdl2 is now 'pdl> '
help vars now shows results alphabetically
pdl2 now runs (falls back to) perldl if Devel::REPL
is not installed or if Term::ReadLine::(Perl|Gnu) is
not installed.
* Other Features
Fix wmpeg() to use ffmpeg to generate the
video (sf.net feature request #3010984).
Added tiled compressed image handling to rfits
Faster matrix multiply
Preliminary support for ENVI file format data
in PDL/IO/ENVI/readenvi.pdl
* Build Improvements:
PDL build process now detects multiple PDL installs
and warns of possible conflicts.
'use PDL' now loads PDL::Config by default.
PDL "as built" configuration is now saved to %PDL::Config
Changes file is automatically updated each release
