[Chicken-users] [ANN] opengl-glew version 0.4.0

[Alex Charlton]

Hello all,

I figured I’d announce this new version of my opengl-glew egg, as it contains 
significant new features./

Aside from some minor improvements, version 0.4.0 adds two new modules: gl-math 
and gl-utils. 

gl-math provides functions primarily for manipulating matrices, much like those 
that are contained in the now deprecated GLU. The glm egg also provides similar 
functionality (and honestly, I probably wouldn’t have written gl-math if I had 
known that glm had camera and projection creation functions), but gl-math is 
more light-weight and fully documented. Not to put down glm in any way, though, 
as it was enormously useful in getting things going for me.

gl-utils contains two main pieces of functionality at the moment: a helper for 
creating VAOs, and PLY loading. Having these tools makes loading and rendering 
models quite easy.

For complete information, check out the docs:

one more time from me, as well: Thank you two for being great hosts :-)
I am glad that I eventually decided to come and hope that we'll meet
again in Bergen!

I second that! Perhaps anyone reading this is up for hosting the next
CHICKEN meeting?

All the best
Moritz

On investigation, this happens only when you are in the directory where
you built Chicken, so it's some mysterious effect of Windows automatically
treating the current directory as part of the path.

No matter, I have no need to run csi there.

Could you be more specific on how to reproduce this?  I've tried CHICKEN
on cygwin a number of times, and didn't get nursery errors.

Cheers,
Peter
