Good morning, thank you for the EGL support.
I was wondering what the plan is for the EGL extensions support?
Or should the user code the necessary extension by "c" processes?

Wasn't there a blog discussing about adding foreign C libraries processes yourself? I found the bindings to C blog.

Hey, I've added a couple functions to the existing egl bindings, maybe I can help. What are you trying to do exactly?

There was a solution on another thread.

Summary for anyone that runs into this:

Get .dlls and .libs from libraries you're wanting to create bindings for
Use bindgen to create the bindings but make sure you include the libraries include files in the .sjson config
Store the .odin binding files in e.g. vendor/your_library
Import the library using the usual Odin style import
Ensure the .dlls of the C libraries are in your projects folder
Build your .odin program and the bindings should allow you to access the C libraries functions etc

Hi I would like to access the EGL extensions, at least to KHR_debug,KHR_swap_buffers_with_damage, EGL_EXT_buffer_age?

Hasn't bindgen solve this?

Just wanted to let you know, if you had some other solutions for this. Better to look what alternatives there are or should people stick with one solution per problem.
