Mo,

Sorry for bothering you.

But I want to make sure the source code you suggested.

Right now, I'm mainly working on Chromium source code base. And even after I change something in GraphicsContext3DOpenGL.cpp, I cannot see anything when I run 'make'. As you know, if we change anything for the source code, we should be able to see compile process when 'make'.

I checked on Linux and Mac. But I cannot see any compilation on both platforms.

Is this source cod used by Chromium port? Or do I need to set extra build setting to use this portion?

Thanks,
