<p>Hi Stephan,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>that's great news and a very nice birthday present for Squeak! :-) I admit that I have almost zero experience with OpenGL, but this sounds exciting - would you see the possibility to upgrade and accelerate Morphic rendering with your solution in the long
term?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have tried to install the packages in a current Trunk image but did not have success so far:</p>
<p></p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li>First, installation of the OpenGL package from your first link fails for me under Windows with this error: "<span style="font-size: 12pt;">GoferRepositoryError: filetree:// repository 'C:\Users\Christoph\OneDrive\Dokumente\Squeak\github-cache\hpi-swa-lab#squeak-graphics-opengl\main\hpi-swa-lab-squeak-graphics-opengl-ce5b27b\OpenGL#src'
does not exist." If I replace the last # with a backslash and resume the installation, it succeeds. In WSL(1), this error does not occur. Could this be an OS-specific slash issue, maybe located in Metacello? I have reset my github caches before the installation.</span></li><li>After installation succeeds, I switch my VM to use OpenGL instead of B3D and run the <span style="font-size: 12pt;">B3DAcceleratorPlugin example from your first readme. However, both in Windows and WSL (which is <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/2855" class="OWAAutoLink">also
reported to support OpenGL</a>), I keep getting an error: "No module to load address from" signaled by GLExternalLibrary1>>getString:. Why is this? Are my 202006010135/<span>202010232046</span> VM too old?</span></li></ul>
<p></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Looking forward to getting it running!</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Best,</span></p>
Christoph<br>

<p>Hey all,<br>
<br>
I've been working on hardware-accelerated graphics in Squeak for a bit now and wanted to share some of the projects I've been using to get current OpenGL versions running in Squeak trunk.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>I'd consider these two projects mostly complete and hopefully stable, so feel free to try them out.<br>
You can find most of the interesting details in the READMEs (and class comments), so I'll hold myself back from repeating them here.<br>
If you have any questions, remarks or ideas pop me a message, create an issue or just answer this thread :)<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Stephan<br>
