For a long time I’ve used kludge3d as the basis for a geometry editing front end to my DPS program. kludge3d is a GTK+2.x app using gtkglext for OpenGL access and I regularly used it under windows and Linux.

Now, kludge3d hasn’t had much upstream development (last release 22/8/2004). That said, I’ve been able to keep it useful against the GTK+2.x series. However recently, getting a GTK+2.x bundle and adding gtkglext to is under windows has become too hard.

First up, oh no, GTK has picked gtkglarea instead of gtkglext. More code churn.

However, though there is lots of code just stubbed out, I at least have a kludge3d binary launching under Linux:
