Description Sean Harmer 2013-01-14 11:44:58 UTC 
The glext.h file shipped with app-admin/eselect-opengl is quite out of date now.

The version currently shipped has:

/* glext.h last updated $Date: 2012-01-26 02:44:56 -0800 (Thu, 26 Jan 2012) $ */
#define GL_GLEXT_VERSION 75

The latest version from Khronos.org for use with OpenGL 4.3 (available with nvidia-drivers) has:

/* glext.h last updated $Date: 2012-09-19 19:02:24 -0700 (Wed, 19 Sep 2012) $ */
#define GL_GLEXT_VERSION 85

Would be nice if we could easily write code that uses the new functionality on Gentoo :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-admin/eselect-opengl
2. Write software that uses OpenGL 4.3 extensions
3. Fail ;)



Ideally these files should be updated on a regular basis.
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2013-01-26 04:09:05 UTC 
Done. Updated glext.h to v85 (from 75) and glxext.h to v34 (from 33). Thanks for the report!

Great! Thank you for this.
