glxgears for Windows (XP+)
Posted: 09 Nov 2023, 12:32
I've wanted to have glxgears on Windows, but there exists no compiled versions of it. So I went and compiled it myself.
https://github.com/K4sum1/windows-glxgears-built/releases/tag/1.0
This works on Windows XP and later, maybe 2000, not sure. It was built with Visual Studio 2012 since that was the oldest version supported by the code. I would like to have a version that doesn't rely on VC++ and runs on anything, but I'm not the person to make it.
It's a "benchmark", it's main purpose is to check if you have working 3D acceleration, in this case OpenGL. I wanted it specifically for Vista driver testing myself, but you can use it for whatever.
