Compile trouble

Post #1by thomas.hansen » 12.07.2005, 01:41

I am trying to modify teh celestia source to extend it with a passive stereo mode (for geo wall use).
but i actually having trouble compiling the application. I am running thecurrent Debian testing and have installed pretty much any package that seemed to be affiliated with open GL; and yet configure keeps giving me the folowing error:

Code: Select all

...
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


What package(s) am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the symbolic links?

libMesaGL.a -> libGL.a
libMesaGL.so -> libGL.so
libMesaGL.so.3 -> libGL.so.1

If not make them in /usr/lib

hi t00fri,

First of all thanks for your reply. I indeed had not set up these symbolic links; so tahnks a ton for that tip. However I still seem to be out of luck; now that it can actually find the lMesaGL library it of course compains about the same errors it finds in libGL.a which it links to.

Is anyone else running Debian testing and is trying to compile rather tha install the package?

ps: I have an nvidiacard installed and am runningteh newest nvidia drivers which were installed using the nvidia installer (I'm not sure this isdirectly applicable,but thought I saw a post regarding simmilar problems and video card drivers.??)

Well this is now getting harder,because I cannot see from a distance what you did and did not install...You should always keep in mind that error messages during configure may be substantially displaced and grossly misleading.

This forum can also hardly be a Debian /testing/ environment ;-) For that sort of activity, the manpower here is definitely lacking. I rather suggest you try compiling another openGL program with your present setup. If this works without problems ( which I definitely disbelieve!) then you may well call back.

Your problem does not look like a Celestia specific problem to me.

Good luck

Whilst in general I agree that debian q's should be in the a debian forum, there is one thing I have to point out.

You are currently linking Celestia to libMesa, a software GL library, but you are trying to run it on nVidia hardare, which has it's own GL libraries.

Try apt-get remove 'ing the Mesa libraries (try aptitude/synaptic) and installing the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-dev packages.

Good Luck
Ben

Hey that did it! :D
Thanks alot to both of you. I understand that this forum might not have been the ideal place to post this question to; I wasjust hoping that someone maybe had ran into similar problems.

Anyways, thanks alot
