[Bf-committers] Msvc 7.1, error compiling ==> 'drawmesh.c'

[Scott Johnson]

What's really strange is that I specifically told my compiler where to 
look for the gl.h header, and then I double checked that 
GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE was defined.  It was, but the compiler was still giving 
me errors.  I do agree that there should be some survey done to 
determine the OpenGL version inherent on users' systems.  Perhaps a 
module to Blender which polls systems to see what type of hardware and 
software drivers they have might be a good idea.  I know that commercial 
software products do this, perhaps it might be a good idea for Blender 
to implement something similar.
