GLU GL ... and other trouble with 3dacceleration

ok, i want to bulid some packages that need GLU and GL at compile-time

having only xfree86 installed, they can

./configure runs fine finding GLU
but make (-IGLU) gives some missings

having xfree86 and mesa installed, i can compile them fine (and they run on systems without mesa!)

BUT: when i have mesa-pkg installed on my system, my radeon runs with software-acceleartion ALWAYS! --- having the same configs, remove mesa and i get hardware-acceleration back

=> anyone knows why?
=> how can i have mesa installed and running a accelerated X at the same time? (dont want to run mesa, only have the libs installed ... for compiling stuff with it)

till i (or we) figure out, i have to -Rd and -S mesa every time i have to compile something using opengl :-(

Re: GLU GL ... and other trouble with 3dacceleration

Actually I am having some lglu issues while compiling some free game like Cube and Adrian.
For reference here are the links to the games.
http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/
http://adriangame.cjb.net/

During the compile I always get this error with either game.
enet `sdl-config --libs` -lSDL_image -lSDL_mixer -lz -lGL -lGLU
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [client] Error 1
[anvildemon@Speedphreak src]$

I did not see any lGLU packages in the repos so I am not sure if this is a package problem or what to be honest. Or if I just need to create a symlink to /usr/bin/ld for the lGLU file.

Doing a slocate for lGLU returns zero results though.

A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

hmm ... try installing pkg mesa for compile ... my trouble (as described above) is that if you want to use this pkgs with hardware acceleration, oyu need to remove the mesa pkg, else you get software acceleration no matter what your X is working with

Re: GLU GL ... and other trouble with 3dacceleration

Even though this is a very old topic that has been revived for some reason, I'll respond to it. Have you ever tried making symlinks to the GLU libraries to /usr/lib? I had the same problems as you, only with nVidia, and after symlinking the GLU libraries to /usr/lib everything worked perfectly.

Re: GLU GL ... and other trouble with 3dacceleration

Thanks!

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so /usr/lib/libGLU.so

This fixed my problem. Mesa is not longer needed.
