    Project mention: static builds of mp4box | reddit.com/r/ffmpeg | 2022-07-18

    I know this isn't actually ffmpeg, but I think of mp4box as being ffmpeg-adjacent so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know if there are reliable static builds of just mp4box online anywhere? All I seem to be able to find on GPAC's site is either a big ol dynamically linked install, or instructions on how to build the mp4box-only binary locally yourself https://github.com/gpac/gpac/wiki/Build-Introduction

  • PortableGL

    An implementation of OpenGL 3.x-ish in clean C

    Project mention: Olive.c: a simple graphics library that does not have any dependencies | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-09-21

    Yeah PortableGL will never be completely fully featured, not even for OpenGL 3.3 since I'll definitely never do the geometry shader and probably not the transform feedback. But specifically it'll never have the earlier immediate mode stuff, or some of the big 4.0 stuff like the tessellation shaders. I have been meaning to add the DSA functions where they make sense. They'd be really simple to implement.

    Actually a few days ago someone sent me a pull request adding an interesting project to my README

    https://github.com/rswinkle/PortableGL/commit/e0652b4dff266d...

    So now if I were to try to sum up all the OpenGL software implementations I can think of,

    TinyGL (and modern improved forks) = OpenGL 1.1-1.3 ish
