Trying to package libglide3 (Voodoo 3/Banshee)

elb · 2006-06-19 13:03:31

Hello,

I'm trying to package libglide3 (necessary to use a Voodoo 3/Banshee with DRI). Being unlucky to find official sources, I took those from Slackware and Gentoo, and found inspiration from theirs buildscripts.
Using any of both, I can't manage to compile libglide3. I get the following output :

(...)

==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

Being unlucky with a source package, I made a PKGBUILD from Slackware libglide3 binaries. It works, glxinfo and glxgears work as excpected. However, every 3D app I launch fails...

Has someone been more lucky with this graphic card ? I would appreciate to be able to build libglide3 from source...

Here is my source PKGBUILD (the "install" part is not finished, don't bother with this, my first goal is to succeed in building the software).

According to the website, there has been one actual release - 3.10.00.30303, on 01 September 2003, but apart from that

Current development is being done in the cvs branch glide-devel-branch.

The release tarball can be downloaded here, but given its age, I'd be more inclined to do a CVS build.

Ok, I was able to build a package from the latest CVS sources.

Now it seems to work, glxinfo reports "Direct rendering enabled", glxgears runs at 600 fps (under 100 before), but applications fail. Tux Racer cores as soon as I press the space bar to begin, and other 3D apps also do. Exactly the same as with the Slackware binary.

Are there others who have experimented Voodoo/Banshee ?
