Hi,

I am trying to do some native opengl rendering on an SWT composite on linux and windows.

For windows I have followed the method described in this link and it works fine.
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t95593.html

However, I'm having a hard time getting it to work on linux (ubuntu).
Here is another link which describes the exact same thing. It doesn't seem to work for me.
http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t26596.html
Casting the handle to a GtkWidget* doesn't seem to work for me. I get a segmentation fault.
I'm very new new to GTK and have hardly any idea. I've just read up a little to do what I need.

My question is - Is the technique described for Linux+GTK in the second link still valid?

Any pointers on how to get this working on linux will be very useful.

Thanks,
Karthik

Why are are you not using GLCanvas and e.g. lwjgl to do OpenGL Rendering?

Hi Tom, GLCanvas was the first thing I checked for this requirement. But from what I saw, if I used GLCanvas, all of my opengl code will be on the java side. I have a requirement where the opengl code needs to be on the C/C++ side.
Do you think I can use GLCanvas with all my opengl code coming from the native side? If I can, then that would also work for me.

Also I will need to be able to use a specific opengl library/emulator for this.

Thanks,
Karthik
