[PD-dev] ? about GEM #ifdef's

[tigital]

hiya,

...well, on OS X, I finally think I've got a better way of opening 
movies (and therefore everything else) that does without the copy 
from offscreen buffer to image.data...however, it did make me wonder 
what a coupla #ifdef's are, or at least their purpose:

#ifdef GL_VERSION_1_1
...and...
#elif GL_EXT_texture_object

...I know that OS X supports GL_Version 1.3 in hardware and 1.1 in 
software (at least on my Radeon mobility), but I don't see a GL 
extension for GL_EXT_texture_object...is this some kind of legacy 
extension?

Also, is the #ifdef GL_VERSION_1_1 valid for version 1.1 and higher?

I'm quickly coming to an understanding that I need to acquaint myself 
with the "red book" a bit more, cuz I just spent the last week trying 
figure out why textures came out weird, and it turns out to just be a 
need for GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV instead of GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE...at 
least as far as GL_RGBA goes!

Lastly, maybe it would be a good idea to central-ly locate and 
explain all of the existent "#ifdef's" in a readme file, so there'd 
be less confusion for new contributors...

l8r,
jamie
