C++ – How to get OpenGL/GLUT working with Eclipse IDE (cocoa 64 bit) using C++ and on Snow Leopard

Allow me to echo what has already been said. I too am a student who just started a Cocoa development project, and at the beginning I thought "Well, I already know Python, I'll just use PyObjC and save myself from having to learn Objective-C, which looks beyond my grasp." I learned quickly that it can't be done. You can develop for OS X without learning Objective-C, but not without learning the Cocoa libraries, which constitute 99% of what you need to learn to write a Cocoa app in Objective-C. Objective-C itself isn't that hard; it's the Cocoa libraries that you need to invest in learning.

PyObjC basically uses Cocoa libraries and Python syntax. I gave up with it quickly and decided that if I was going to have to learn Cocoa, I may as well use Objective-C.

If you're looking to learn, Aaron Hillegass's book is a good place to start. Good luck!

I've used PyOpenGL 3.0.0 quite successfully on Snow Leopard. It uses ctypes, so it should be making 64-bit calls if those libraries are available (and Snow Leopard's Python includes a 64-bit version). I haven't used the wxPython stuff with PyOpenGL so that's where you might be running into problems, but PyOpenGL also includes GLUT, which both run fine.
