I think I fixed the issue in the latest Git revision. It should now be possible to use non-basic Cg shaders (via GLSL profiles) on AMD and Intel cards.
It’s a good news. I’ll try to build new version and check it, though I already fully switched on GLSL )
b.t.w. what the reasons to use Cg in Panda, except autoshaders? Cg is officially abandoned if I remember.
GLSL is a standard, which used more and more, especially in context of mobile devices evolution, except Microsoft, which went by own way, as usually, and uses DX on Win Phone.
b.t.w2 in context of Microsoft and DX, what you think about this project? code.google.com/p/angleproject/
That’s great and bad news!
Great because I could have all my shaders in one language and bad because Panda should realy move to using glsl (and hlsl if dx10+ would be supported -but I for one care not for it) as the default shader language.
I blame Nvidia for not updating Cg.

Build terminated.I do still recommend the use of GLSL over Cg, and we’re still moving in the direction of GLSL. But there are still people using Cg today (and the auto-shader, as you pointed out) and we can’t leave those hanging.
ninth, the error you’re getting is (I think) because of outdated headers. We don’t have EventStorePandaNode any more. I think you may still have old interrogate files, or old header files in the repository that git didn’t remove (for some reason). I recommend you try making a clean build.
ANGLE looks like a very interesting project. Though Panda doesn’t work very well with GLES2 because GLES2 has no fixed-function pipeline, and there is no Cg for GLES2, which means that using GLES2 with Panda currently means you have to write your own shader for everything.
I’m also interested in building a Direct3D 10/11 renderer for Panda, but that’s not very high on the list of priorities.
Thanks, clean build is works )
Seems that problem with Cg is solved, at least on Intel, on ATI not tested yet
