Subject: Re: cygwin linked opengl app displays only an empty window

Hi,

Try using the opengl/glut libraries from my web page. I've had similar
problems and they were resolved after I recreated the library files. The web
page is at http://www.cs.albany.edu/~erbacher/courses/cs422/ . The directions
for setting up opengl within cygwin, as well as the library files, are located
in the "GL Files and Info" section. There is some example code as well as
makefiles in the "Example Code" section of the same web page. I've had a lot
of students get opengl/glut running on a wide variety of platforms so 
hopefully this will work for you. I've even managed to get opengl/glut
programs running on a lowly laptop using cygwin...

Rob

P.S. Can you please forward this message to the cygwin mailing list? My site
is listed in the RBL database so I can't send it directly and it may be of
interest to others...
