[GEM-dev] automated drawing in gem?

[marius schebella]

Hi wesley, iohannes,
I got pdlua compiled on mac intel using lua51, (I did not need luaGL to 
get it compiled..?) but when I create a [lua] object in pd i get an 
error (see below). I don't know if that error is related to my 
compilation or the missing luaGL. I also don't know how to compile 
luaGL. could I use the lua version that comes with jit.gl.lua?
marius.
