The OpenGL Kit
Developer Release Notes
BeOS Release 4.5

Bug Fixes and Improvements

    The BGLScreen class is no longer needed -- its talents have been subsumed by BGLView.  Although the BGLScreen code still lives in the OpenGL library, the class declaration has been removed from be/openGL/GLView.h (where it used to live).   Existing BGLScreen code will continue to work, but new code must be converted to use BGLView objects instead.

Pentium III OpenGL


Glide

    An experimental port of the Glide 3D language, version 2.54, is available with Release 4.5.  To install the Glide package, use SoftwareValet to unpack...
  • optional/experimental/glide/glide2x.pkg

This will install the Glide shared library and header files, and associated add-ons:

  • The library is /boot/beos/system/lib/glide2x.so.

  • The header files are installed in /boot/develop/headers/3dfx/glide2.

  • See SoftwareValet's Preview Install map for the locations of the add-ons (you don't need to know their locations).
    Currently the library will only run on Voodoo 2 cards (single or dual).  We've tested the cards listed below; others may also work:
  • Canopus Pure 3D II
  • Diamond Monster 3D II
  • Creative Labs 3D Blaster Voodoo 2.
    This version of Glide is experimental.  Installing and using the Glide package may crash your system or cause other undesired effects.
