Ex Sgi user, also with published titles to my name ;) Linux isn't *that* different to irix really - nothing's really changed in 20 years! Totally obvious programming points: use g++ instead of cc; the 'ar' command makes libs; use -shared to make dso's; get reacquainted with makefiles; and remember t...

Not sure how it will handle larger multiple-C-file projects yet, but I'll enjoy playing... I'd point out that if you want to compile C++ code, you need to use g++ instead of gcc. (I usually compile C files as C++, since it's a little less restrictive in the syntax allowed). With gcc, using multiple...

Guys!

Why are you blaming the DST params (the framebuffer) for defects visible in the SRC params (the vertex attributes)?

Ok, so I'm going to add another post to clear up a bit of confusion present in this thread. In a nutshell, there are 3 ways to use the Pi with the lego NXT. They are: 1. You can use the Pi to issue commands to the NXT brick, it's sensors, and the motors, via the use of a bluetooth connection. (this ...

I've actually rewritten Anders mindstorms NXT bluetooth C++ library (and fixed a load of bugs, updated the code to include the newer colour sensor, added xbox 360 joypad support, and added the ability to write 24bit images). Everything works without a hitch on linux, and so it should be *relatively*...

Moreover, with that kind of configuration it should only ever be possible to have fully opaque primitives. Transparency is usually done with the SRC_ALPHA, ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, where SRC is the primative colour. The framebuffer lacking alpha is only a problem if you use DST_ALPHA/DST_COLOR in your ...

Another vote for GIT. SVN, CVS and BZR are perfectly ok, until such time as you hit a problem. At that point, you'll be very glad you were using GIT! My 2 cents....

Whichever you end up using, grab the Tortoise front-end for them:

Tortoise is Win32 only.

fprinting to stdout is syntactical sugar for printf. Printing program output to the error log (stderr) however, is a little bit of a no no. As for printing to a file, it's not that difficult.... #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { FILE* fp = fopen("output.txt", "w&qu...
