[osg-users] GL profiles issues on Windows

Hi Robert,

good guess! I've enabled the aliasing and my shaders works now with osg
default build!
With this configuration there is still a side effect though: something is
wrong with alpha settings for HUD cameras.
See attached screenshot that shows the issue: it's a modified osgsimplegl3
example with stats handler enabled, but I have alpha issues with other HUDs
as well.
I've counter checked in my examples that the 2 aliasing/uniform calls are
the culprit: if I comment them out the shaders don't work anymore but the
stats are displayed correctly.

Building OSG for OpenGL 3.x

OSG currently support OpenGL 3.x on Windows. This comment block describes the
necessary configuration steps.

Get the draft gl3.h header file from OpenGL.org and put it in a folder called
“GL3” somewhere on your hard drive. OSG includes this header as <GL3/gl3.h>. Get
gl3.h from here:
http://www.opengl.org/registry/

Open the cmake-gui and load OSG's top-level CmakeLists.txt. You'll need to make
several changes.

 * Add the path to <GL3/gl3.h> to the CMake compiler flags, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and
   CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG (for release and debug builds; others if you use other
   build configurations). The text to add should look something like this:
     /I “C:\GLHeader”
   The folder GLHeader should contain a subfolder GL3, which in turn contains
   gl3.h.

 * Enable the following CMake variable:
     OSG_GL3_AVAILABLE

 * Disable the following CMake variables:
     OSG_GL1_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL2_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GLES1_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GLES2_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL_DISPLAYLISTS_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL_FIXED_FUNCTION_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL_MATRICES_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL_VERTEX_ARRAY_FUNCS_AVAILABLE
     OSG_GL_VERTEX_FUNCS_AVAILABLE

Create your project files in cmake-gui as usual, and build OSG as usual.

If you have an external project that will depend on OSG built for OpenGL 3.x,
you'll need to ensure your external project also uses the compiler include
directives to find <GL3/gl3.h>.

To berify your application is using a pure OpenGL 3.x context, set
OSG_NOTIFY_LEVEL=INFO in the environment and check the console output. Context
creation displays output such as the following:
    GL3: Attempting to create OpenGL3 context.
    GL3: version: 3.1
    GL3: context flags: 0
    GL3: profile: 0
    GL3: context created successfully.

When your app begins rendering, it displays information about the actual context
it is using:
    glVersion=3.1, isGlslSupported=YES, glslLanguageVersion=1.4
