Mingw gl.h has not GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES declared

[tonnot]

Mingw gl.h has not some values defined for several GL constants
for example GL_MULTISAMPLE, GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES....
Where (people that develops mingw ??) have I to go to say this little fault ?
Thanks

I checked my MInGW installation. (MinGW 4.4 & 4.5)

these values are present

Line 747

#define GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES                0x80E8

#define GL_MAX_ELEMENTS_VERTICES                0x80E8

#define GL_MULTISAMPLE                          0x809D

#define GL_MULTISAMPLE                          0x809D

The values are the same of Mesa in my Linux machine

But, I have get the last version. I have win xp.
The value is at glext.h not gl.h .
I'm now a little confused.
Have I to include glext.h ? QGLwidget use it ?
Thanks

QGLWidget uses only <gl.h> and <glu.h>

In the dark ages the MingW gl.h used to include glext.h but this caused problems (as comments in the gl.h file indicate). If you want the definitions for GL version 1.2 or 1.3 then include glext.h directly.
