OpenGL profile control
« on: September 16, 2014, 03:59:29 am »

Just wanted to go on record to request settings in the windows module that will coerce OpenGL

CORE PROFILE AND FORWARD_COMPATIBLE

settings.  (I need those features for my applications before I can replace SDL2 or GLFW3 with SFML as I would like to).

Thank You.

Work in progress.

And by the way... if you really think that you need the forward compatible bit, you probably don't know what it really does.

I was preparing to retract my request for the forward_compatible bit control until I discovered that it definitely IS required to make things run on my MacBook Pro !!!   I cannot explain why, but I suspect it is a quirk of OS-X.  See also:
