AmigaOS 3.x and Icaros 2.2.5 GLUT and MUI program experiments

I recently tested two types of programs on Icaros 2.2.5/Aros. The first was a basic GLUT program while the other was a basic MUI program. GLUT AmigaOS 3.x running simple GLUT program. I tried GLUT as I was looking for a cross platform GUI library that provides basic windowing functions in OpenGL. Although GLUT provides basic window functions, it lacks in gadgets. So I did a further search and found the Agar Library  and the GLUI Library , both of which I will try in the future. So in testing GLUT on Icaros 2.2.5 and on AmigaOS 3.x, I downloaded a small sample program from this website . The sample program is here . I did modify the program and changed the screen resolution to 800 x 600 rather than the default of 1280 x 800. The sample GLUT program ran and operated successfully on AmigaOS 3.x, which was running on WinUAE 3.4.0. When running on Icaros the program ran but it did not draw the line. So unsure as to the cause of this on Icaros as other OpenGL programs have been r
