R 2.3.0 and rgl on OS X 10.4.6

Hans-Joerg,

I found this thread about R 2.3.0 and rgl on OS X 10.4.6 in the
internet.


I had the same problem.

So why didn't you use the fix?

I fixed the source code for api.cpp in that way:

I only changed both lines with -> void rgl_win... ( ... , int* view)
into void rgl_win... ( ... , GLint* view)

That is a very bad hack and I don't recommend using it. The only  
reason it works is that in 32-bit mode gcc int and long have the same  
size. It will break horribly if compiled as 64-bit. I don't know if  
you actually looked at the reason, but GLint is defined as long - so  
in is NOT int! That is why the compiler is (correctly) complaining.

Cheers,
Simon
