that's the oddball thing. I downloaded the globe_3d bindings and they work fine.
I have not been able to get the examples from david's opengl bindings to work at all.
the problem starts when I try to build adaglut.adb.
first it's 'adaglut.exe' missing.
then about 50 lines saying undefined after it tries to link adaglut.adb with adaglut.ali

the gnatbind lists about 50 instances where there's undefinited references' in glmain'.
then the 'bad location' address, followed by collect2.exe error, gnatlink error when calling gcc.exe
and gnatmake link error detected.

why does it seem like you need to have a straight-out unix system to do ANYTHING related to opengl? that doesn't seem right to me at all.
