Apologies for an apparent salvo of e-mails. Here's one proposed option. Hasn't been tested thoroughly but so far it appears to work ok:
--- GemGL.h~ 2006-09-26 05:56:33.000000000 -0400 +++ GemGL.h 2007-02-19 17:09:03.000000000 -0500 @@ -53,6 +53,9 @@ * so, if your system lacks GL/glext.h, * just undefine the appropriate line in Base/configNT.h */ + +#define GL_GLEXT_VERSION 21 + # if (!defined GL_GLEXT_VERSION) # include <GL/glext.h> # endif /* GL_GLEXT_VERSION */
(namely by adding GL_GLEXT_VERSION 21 which corresponds to OpenGL 1.5)
This would still keep ARB enabled in those files, rather than totally obliterating them...
This is however a brute force fix for buggy fglrx drivers. Would it be perhaps possible to have a configure option, i.e. --force-gl-1.5 or something like that which would define this variable in this particular place? As I mentioned earlier I am not too familiar with the configure scripts so if this is to be ok'd by Iohannes and others, I would greatly appreciate it if someone else did the part of integrating it.
Many thanks!
Best wishes,
Ico
