Do someone know how to get glsl shaders work in gtk-opengl window? With glut all glCreateProgram etc. functions works, but when I tried to put the same gl code into pygtkglext window, its complaining about NullReference: OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glCreateProgram, check for bool(glCreateProgram) before calling So then I from OpenGL.GL.ARB.shader_objects import *, but the result is similar: OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glCreateProgramObjectARB, check for bool(glCreateProgramObjectARB) before calling Any idea will be useful.
