Pandora Does GLFW work on openpandora?

[jontheramer]

If not, what would be needed to make it work? My games depend on it and I don't see much reasons why it wouldn't work?


(Disclaimer: I didn't try yet as I don't have my Pandora yet, but I want to prepare some stuff for when it arrives)

It would requiere extensive porting, but that's doable

Why is that the case? I don't know much about the internals of GLFW, I just use it for games.

I've ported GLFW to EGL. The pull request to upstream is still pending.

That should work on pandora as well, since it was where I tested it when I had the donated pandora.

The port compiles fine but I cannot get it to work ; I use it with GLESv2 and the init goes fine, however when trying to create a window, it complains that it Failed to find a suitable EGLConfig. I added some 'low level' config selection code and that works fine, no errors. However GLFW 3 always fails... Any ideas?

With the following hints I am one step further: 

        glfwWindowHint( GLFW_RESIZABLE,CFG_GLFW_WINDOW_RESIZABLE ? GL_FALSE : GL_TRUE );

        glfwWindowHint( GLFW_VISIBLE, GL_TRUE );

        glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CLIENT_API, GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API);

 

        glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RED_BITS, 5);

        glfwWindowHint(GLFW_GREEN_BITS, 6);

        glfwWindowHint(GLFW_BLUE_BITS, 5);

        glfwWindowHint(GLFW_SAMPLES, 4);

 

I see the screen flicker; after that 

 

Error: Failed to retrieve context version string

 

Edit: Managed to get it working, but don't like the solution. 

 

- I switched to GLES_CM (GLES 1) 

- I hardcode the version in context.c 

 

Now it all works. What's up with that version string though? 

 

[jontheramer2]

Described what I did here; it works now, but with the version issue there.
