MacOSX

OpenGL on MacOS can be used in two unrelated configurations - either with native OpenGL support, or via XQuartz/GLX.

Prima::OpenGL would only work with XQuartz/GLX, while by default OpenGL::Modern uses native OpenGL.

There is currently no way to compile OpenGL::Modern with XQuartz/GLX, however I've filed a PR that allows configuring it as env WITH_XQUARTZ=1 perl Makefile.PL. For now, you would need to add the following lines to the OpenGL::Modern's Makefile.PL after line 17:

$define .= " -DGLEW_APPLE_GLX -I/opt/X11/include"; $libs = '-L/opt/X11/lib -lglut';

Also, in your program, never load OpenGL::Modern before Prima; for some reason that doesn't work
