<br>
I have some comments on Jordan's list of subgoals.<br>
<br>
1. Waffle's examples/gl_basic.c<br>
<br>
gl_basic is a little toy program that developers can use to test<br>
Waffle when adding support for new platforms, such as WGL. If<br>
you can get gl_basic to work on WGL, then that will prove that<br>
Waffle (mostly) supports WGL.<br>
<br>
Even after gl_basic begins working for a new platform, there will<br>
remain some bugs and unimplemented corner cases for that<br>
platform. But, gl_basic is the right place to start when working<br>
on WGL.<br>
<br>
2. Waffle's src/utils/wflinfo.c<br>
<br>
wflinfo is a little tool that works like glxinfo. It prints<br>
information about the system's GL implementation, such as the<br>
system's OpenGL version and available extensions. It works for<br>
OpenGL Core contexts, OpenGL Compatibility contexts, and OpenGL<br>
ES contexts.<br>
<br>
3. piglit test suite running tests on Windows using waffle<br>
<br>
This is the real reason why I want Waffle to support WGL. If<br>
Waffle supported WGL, then Piglit could use a single<br>
platform-abstraction layer for every window system and operating<br>
system. Currently, Piglit uses GLUT as the platform-abstraction<br>
layer for Windows and Mac; and uses Waffle for Linux and Android.<br>
(Yes, some people have private forks of Piglit that run on<br>
Android).<br>
<br>
4. Package binary waffle for windows<br>
<br>
This is a nice-to-have. Today, there exist official Waffle packages for<br>
Gentoo, Chromium OS, and Linux. And Jordan is working on a Debian<br>
package. And I have a MacPorts package that I intend to add to<br>
the official MacPorts repository.<br>
<br>
If you accomplished the first two subgoals, then I would consider your<br>
summer of code project a success. Then others could build on top of your<br>
work to finish #3. If you also accomplish #3, then it would be an<br>
astounding success.<br>
