Crash : Windows while opening new part

[Sid]

I have installed visual C as said on the post, wild cat is opening
fine, but while clicking on new part it crashes. I have tried on two
diffrent Windows xp machines, one with ATI graphics card and one with
Intel Graphics card.

Sid,

Wildcat is most likely crashing because it is calling an OpenGL
command that your graphics card does not support. This is a known
issue and I believe that Graham is working to fix this.

Thanks for info. Is there any way I can solve the issue, I am very
eager to see the functionality of wild cad it is such a small program
and the screenshot give me impression somthing like catia.
Just for Intro, I am a CAD user from quit long time since Autocad and
made some Project (Plug-in or API) in Autolisp /Visual lisp for
creating direct 3D Autocad after doing stress calucations from inputs
and some in Cocreate lisp.

Sid,

My laptop uses an Intel GPU as well. Anything that calls glGenBuffers,
glDeleteBuffers or glBindBuffer needs to be wrapped in an if-
statement:

if(WCAdapter::HasGLARBVertexBufferObject() ) {...}

This worked for me until I got to a destructor in bounding_object.h
that calls glDeleteBuffers(). I'm a C++ newb and don't how to resolve
this. Graham has indicated that he is re-writing Wildcat so that it
will not use vertex shading. So, doing all of the work to the current
code base, as described above, would be all-for-naught.

Ideally, if we could generate a makefile for the Wx MSVC project,
Wildcat could be opened in Eclipse or Netbeans and could be built in
MS, Linux or OSX with some tweaking. Unfortunately MS removed this
ability from VC after Version 6. The only way that I know to build
Wildcat independently is to write a makefile by hand, but I do not
have the experience to do this myself - I'm not sure if the autoconf
tools would help with this task.

As an alternative, another Wildcat project member, Dan Heeks, has
developed a similar app called HeeksCAD. It uses the OpenCASCADE kernel
(?). I'm not sure how that differs from what Graham is trying to
accomplish, but Dan has been making regular updates to it and a CAM
plugin that it uses, HeeksCNC.

All the best,

Frank
