macOS support? #17

Open orklann opened 7 years ago

orklann commented 7 years ago

Can this library work on macOS?

jtmcdole commented 7 years ago

I don't have a mac to test it on, but it should work with some caveats. You need to have the dart-glfw library and glfw3+ for Mac to test it on.

I haven't worked on this in a while and John basically rewrote the entire thing (and it was probably a good idea, looking back my code really wasn't good) so I don't know if this applies now, but AFAIK MacOS doesn't support opengl ES on the desktop. Their gl drivers have always been very neglected.

orklann commented 7 years ago

Yep, macOS does not support any version of OpenGL ES, so this should fail to build, but I have not tried yet.

Looks like you can get it with: https://moltengl.com/

ANGLE looks like they are working on something, but I don't know their current status. Chromium has to do something as WebGL 1.0 is ES 2.0.

Thanks very much @jtmcdole that looks cool, I will try it later on.

jtmcdole commented 7 years ago

Please report back if you have any luck getting this to work on a mac!

orklann commented 7 years ago

@jtmcdole I don't have time right now to make this on Mac, I will report it if I can.
