Guidance on selection of gl or gles for X11_RENDER_SYSTEM setting - graysky - 2019-11-25
I am building from git and noticed an error relating to the X11-RENDER_SYSTEM variable given by x11.cmake. Per the output, I included a
-DX11_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl in my cmake step and it seem to be building fine now. Can someone point me to a document showing pros/cons of GL vs GLES? What I'm getting out of googling is that ES is for embedded systems and other is for desktops but wanted a bit more granularity. Thanks.

On X11 use GL - more advanced features. It's the "reference implementation".
