I've been trying to run openscad export png function on an azure windows Server Virtual machine. The problem is that azure virtual machines have very basic openGL support so I tried using Mesa as explained on the last lines here <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Microsoft_Windows> After running $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-mesa on MSYS2 I tried both copying opengl32.dll to System32 and and copying it to the same folder as openscad.exe but keep getting the same as error as before when running png export: Framebuffer Object extension not found by GLEW. Can't create OpenGL OffscreenView. Code: -1. How could I run openscad on top of Mesa? -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Running-openscad-with-Mesa-OpenGL-on-azure-windws-Server-2012-tp11678.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

However, if you do figure this out, it would be very appreciated if you could update the documentation, or post an email to the list with your experiences. ..and there’s always the option of going to the source: Ask Azure customer support for OpenGL 2 support.

This would include the OpenGL driver the GUI application found. Are you running the 64bit OpenSCAD binary? ciao, Torsten.
