[bug #25548] NSOpenGLContext can't -makeCurrentContext independently of NSOpenGLView.

[matt rice]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #25548 (project gnustep):

attached is a test program that shows what i'd like to do...

the problem being i'm drawing into NSOpenGLView using external renderer which
in turn uses 

glxGetCurrentDrawable/glxGetCurrentContext

initialization of the external renderer takes a bit of time, so i'd rather do
it at startup rather than waiting to initialize the renderer until I open the
nib file which contains the NSOpenGLView 

I don't have any code which says that it should work, but there is nothing in
the documentation which leads me to believe that it shouldn't work.


this page leads me to believe that NSOpenGLContext is usable outside of
NSOpenGLView though.

so yeah, i don't know if this code should work, but it doesn't.
