OpenGL Bindings

These library packages interface various Common Lisp implementations with the OpenGL / Mesa.

cl-opengl: CFFI bindings for OpenGL, GLU and GLUT.
nameless bindings for CMUCL and SBCL, derived from Allegro bindings below. non-free (no commercial use)
nameless bindings for GCL and Allegro (Unix) by Richard Mann.
nameless bindings for Allegro (Windows). (broken link)
Information on OpenGL on Allegro.
bindings for MCL 5.0 Beta (Macintosh) by Alexander Repenning, based on the ACL bindings. Provides minimal GLUT support along with a simple lisp framework for making OpenGL programming easier.
See also GLOS, which is a native implementation rather than an FFI binding
CL-SDL provides an OpenGL interface supported on a number of platforms.
CL-GLFW provides a comprehensive OGL binding as part of its implementation
CLX, at least the "telent clx"/"portable clx" variant, version 0.7.1 now includes some GLX support - that is to say, OpenGL over the X11 network protocol - NOT a "FFI-to-a-C-library style binding!". This is only a proof-of-concept implementation (not complete due to author's lack of time/protocol specifications). But in its current state it is clear that accelerated OpenGL works (if X server supports it; and at least authors nVidia drivers did in year 2005; other vendor drivers should support it today due to the "recent" Linux desktop eyecandy/Xgl hype).
