GoGL

GoGL is an OpenGL binding generator for Go. No external dependencies like GLEW are needed.

Install the OpenGL bindings

For example, OpenGL 2.1 bindings can be installed using the go command:

go get github.com/chsc/gogl/gl21

Examples

To test the installed bindings, build and install the "spinning gopher" example:

go get github.com/chsc/gogl/examples/gopher

and run it from your command line.

Manually build & install the binding generator

If you want to create your own bindings:

clone the repository:

git clone http://github.com/chsc/gogl.git

or use the go command:

go get github.com/chsc/gogl

To generate the bindings (the fast way), simply type:

make bindings

This will download, build and install the latest OpenGL bindings.

Use

gogl -help

for more information about GoGL's command line arguments.

Corrected spec files

The original spec files from Khronos have errors in them. Jason McKesson (alfonse) maintains corrected spec files in his bitbucket repository. You can find them here: GL XML Specs.

TODO

• Better spec parser
