Hello Stéphane,
You should not have problems with most samples of the directory TEST/,
except maybe with TEST/glsl.ml but it's close to an hello world, so the author
of the original in C didn't put any license on it, and was very surprised I
ask him for this.
About the red-book I don't know, but a guess this has been resolved yet
because OpenGL bindings of other programming language have probably red-book
samples provided too.
About the nehe examples I guess it's OK because there are nehe samples in
LablGL which have been packaged in debian.
The examples in the directory gle-examples/ should be OK too because gle is a
free library.
So there should be only one sample that has problem TEST/glsl.ml but it's very
basic, just a hello-world for GLSL (GL Shadin Language).
======================
It's true that some examples are made to work in the source tree, but I made
patches for this in the mandriva package and I have given yet the link for
this : http://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/2010/03/msg00013.html
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/ocaml-
glmlite/current/SOURCES/
======================
Even if you won't use it you can easily test if it works with all the
examples, and especially the red-book examples, indeed you should get the same
results than with the original files in C :
