I'm running Sid and I'm having trouble compiling OpenGL apps. Here's my situation. I have an IBM T23. My video card is an S3 Savage and I'm using the drivers from dri.freedesktop.org. The point is that I'm not using a Radeon or Nvidia card or anything else that comes with its own OpenGL files; I'm only using the OpenGL header and library files that come with xorg and mesa.
I have xlibmesa-dri, xlibmesa-gl, xlibmesa-gl-dev, libglu1-mesa and libglu1-mesa-dev installed. As far as I know, these should be what I need to run and build OpenGL apps. glxinfo gives me "direct rendering: Yes". I have no trouble running opengl screensavers in xscreensaver, or Ur Quan Masters in OpenGL mode. Both of these programs are from apt-get. The problem comes when I try myself to compile something to use OpenGL. It inevitably fails at the ./configure stage, saying that it can't find the OpenGL development files. To take one typical case, I did "apt-get source planetpenguin-racer ; apt-get build-dep planetpenguin-racer". When I tried to ./configure it, I got: checking for GL library... no checking for GL library (with pthreads)... no checking for MesaGL library... no checking for MesaGL library (with pthreads)... no checking for opengl32 library... no checking for opengl32 library (with pthreads)... no *** Hmm, you don't seem to have OpenGL libraries installed in the *** standard location (/usr/lib). I'll check in /usr/X11R6/lib, *** since many distributions (incorrectly) put OpenGL libs there. checking for GL library... no checking for GL library (with pthreads)... no checking for MesaGL library... no checking for MesaGL library (with pthreads)... no checking for opengl32 library... no checking for opengl32 library (with pthreads)... no configure: error: Cannot find GL library One interesting section I noticed in its config.log was: configure:6935: gcc-3.4 -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lSDL_mixer -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXi -lXext -lXmu -lXt -ldl -lm -L/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread >&5 configure:6941: $? = 0 configure:6944: test -z || test ! -s conftest.err configure:6947: $? = 0 configure:6950: test -s conftest configure:6953: $? = 0 configure:6966: result: yes configure:7024: checking for GL library configure:7043: gcc-3.4 -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXi -lXext -lXmu -lXt -ldl -lm -L/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lSDL_mixer -lGL >&5 /usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.16.91 20060118 Debian GNU/Linux assertion fail ../../bfd/elflink.c:6203 /usr/bin/ld: conftest: hidden symbol `__fini_array_end' in conftest is referenced by DSO /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I've tried building other OpenGL programs, of course, and they've ALL failed at the ./configure stage, saying that they can't find the OpenGL libraries. Help me out here. I want to be able to build OpenGL programs from source. What am I doing wrong? When I tried find information on this problem, The only reference I could find was http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=332753 and that's only supposed to affect those with Nvidia cards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
