Excellent project! I heard that originally OpenGL binding was limited because of the way it used callback functions, and newlisp was limited to 10 callbacks. But perhaps the new libffi stuff has removed that limitation?

I really hope so, and that you succeed. I've also wanted to do this for a long time. Thank you for posting your code, please keep at it! If someone wants to post bindings to a 3d engine, of course they are welcome to, the more the merrier, but I also really like having low level access to stuff. That is what puts newlisp way ahead of all other LISP variants for me.

I almost feel I could weep, I've been wanting to see this done in newLISP for years. Thank you Lutz for putting the pieces together to make it happen, and thank you refrainrence for finally DOING it!

I cut and pasted the teapot GL demo onto my Linux box, and it worked! I was so surprised. No errors, just worked on the first try. And now you show code that works on Win7 and Linux without alteration, without error, on the first try. Wow!

Refrainrence, have you looked into libSDL? Does that meet your needs? I remember back when Loki Games specifically designed it for cross-platform game developement, and a lot of Linux games use it and those games run on Windows too.

A good set of libSDL bindings for newLISP would be the cats ass.
