configure: error: GL library not found

Post #1by MaxIT » 11.01.2003, 06:54

After used with satisfaction with my win32, now I want to try to make it work on my linuxbox: Suse 8.0, with Matrox and its Xfree86 accelerated engine. All 3d games (VegStrike for example) works fines.

I've jkust download last version (1.2.5) and do a configure, but I get an error:

checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking for glNewList in -lGL... no
checking for glNewList in -lMesaGL... no
configure: error: GL library was not found

library should be in the right path (and I've tried to specify them with configure options --with-gl-libs).

Any idea?

Look at the end of your config.log for more details on what went wrong.
