However, GLOBE_3D uses OpenGL 1.x, which is old... very= old. If you want to use something a bit more modern (4.6) (for example com= pute shaders for some GPGPU) you might want to take a look at https://githu= b.com/onox/orka (documentation is still WIP, so take a look at the examples= /tools as well). It can be used under Wayland directly via EGL and libglfw3= -wayland (v3.3). Windows worked as well when I tried it more than a year ag= o. As long as you're not on an apple or a potato, you're good :) I use (free)glut also. reinert
