Run Open GL programs on the Raspberry Pi?

Question

Can the Raspberry Pi run OpenGL programs? Like GL 1.x programs, not OpenGL ES 2.x which I know it can run.

The reason I am asking, I have trouble having SFML 2 start on it.

Answer 1

You can run the Mesa software rasterizer to get desktop OpenGL support.

It'll be slow though. Really, really slow.

Answer 2

Nobody has created a desktop OpenGL implementation for Raspberry Pi hardware, for any version of desktop OpenGL. There are software implementations, but that would be of limited use on PR's relatively meager CPU.
