broken glext.h header file
 

A broken header file is shipped with nVidia GFX drivers version 9629 and 9742. Compiler says:
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glext.h:6952: error: redefinition of typedef 'PFNGLGETUNIFORMUIVEXTPROC'
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glext.h:6941: error: previous declaration of 'PFNGLGETUNIFORMUIVEXTPROC' was here


I checked that and the compiler is right. 'PFNGLGETUNIFORMUIVEXTPROC' is defined twice!

Re: broken glext.h header file
 

This is a known bug which will be resolved in a future driver release.

Thanks,

I just commented out the second line (6952). Trivial right? :)

Re: broken glext.h header file
 

Seems like it was fixed for the latest release (1.0-9746).

Thank you Nvidia.

Re: broken glext.h header file
 

it's nice to hear the problem is fixed in the latest drivers, but nvidia has dropped support for my card in the latest drivers...

heya andrew fear, claims that customers have no need for opensource drivers (http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/softwa...9352584,00.htm) make me angry at moments like this.
