# What's that?

egl is a [Go](http://golang.org) package for accessing the

[EGL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGL_\(OpenGL\)) (Embedded Graphics

Library). EGL is the access door toward hardware accelerated graphics,

through OpenGL, on many embedded devices. The project was born for

accessing the GPU of the [Raspberry PI](http://raspberrypi.org) (check

this

[post](https://plus.google.com/u/0/100271912081202470197/posts/LQVYfrj49qA))

but now it has been generalized to be go installable on other

platforms too. This has the benefit that you could develop Open GL ES

2.0 applications on your desktop computer using

[Mesa](http://www.mesa3d.org/egl.html) and deploy them on embedded

systems like the Raspberry PI.

# Currently supported platform

* Raspberry PI

* Xorg

* Android (see [Mandala](https://github.com/remogatto/mandala))

# Install

The package aims to be multiplatform. To achive this result two

approaches are used: [build

constraints](http://golang.org/pkg/go/build) and

per-platform/per-implementation initialization [boilerplate

code](platform/). By default egl will use the xorg implementation.

~~~bash

$ go get github.com/remogatto/egl # use xorg by default

~~~

To build egl against a particular implementation use the specific

build constraint, for example:

~~~bash

$ go get -tags=raspberry github.com/remogatto/egl # install on the raspberry

~~~

On a debian like system you will need to install the following prerequisites:

~~~bash

$ sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev

~~~

# Usage

Please refer to the

[examples](https://github.com/remogatto/egl-examples/).

# To Do

* Add support for other platforms (e.g. android)

* Add tests
