The latter website says: "GtkGLExt has new maintainers! More information will be available soon." > Which one should I use?

This is an excellent way to jump straight to mature software! I get: libgtkglext1: 42,020 gtkglarea5: 8,148 libgtkglext1-dev: 2,614 gtkglarea5-dev: 652 So the newer GTKGLExt library is substantially more common among both users and developers. I actually use GLArea from OCaml and haven't had any difficulties (although I don't distribute in compiled form). -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?e _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
