[fetter-devel] Big huge OpenGL-library on win32

[Kenny Tilton]

The opengl headers gl.h and glu.h require windows.h to get a clean 
compile. Of course windows.h includes everything, so (congratulations!) 
VZN produces a one megabyte source file opengl-library.lisp. ACL is 
trying to compile that as I write this.

I tried hacking at GL.h and glu.h to get them to compile without 
windows.h. This got gl.h to compile:

#define APIENTRY
#define WINGDIAPI

...but that did not work for glu.h (and I cannot quite make out why that 
is not compiling).

I went looking for headers not so win-centric, but all I could find was 
a gl.h which gave me the idea for those #defines.

Any thoughts? It occurred to me after seeing the same result on 
winsock.h (which also requires windows.h) that it would be nice if 
gccxml (or now Verrazano) could accept two kinds of headers, one kind 
just to get a clean compile, the other to be turned into bindings. I 
believe gccxml output indicates in which source file a symbol was 
defined... perhaps VZN could use that info to solve this problem?
