Re: [GtkGLExt] Fwd: Re: GtkGlExt & GTK3

[Carlos Pereira <jose carlos pereira ist utl pt>]

Just looking in the GDK 3 documentation,

we have this for X:
https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-X-Window-System-Interaction.html

and we have this for Wayland:
https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/stable/gdk3-Wayland-Interaction.html

Apparently there are many functions still missing for Wayland, for 
example there are no functions to get a visual... Clearly it will be a 
long way before OpenGL runs with Wayland... We need a GLX-like library 
for Wayland... is someone working on that?

Regards,
Carlos
