dosbox is missing libGL.so.1.2

Hello.

I just found a bug in the dosbox package (0.72-2). It's missing the library mentioned in the subject which should be provided by nvidia-utils (or catalyst-utils or, I guess, libgl). I have nvidia-utils installed but I only have libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib. Filed a bug about this here:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8747

A solution for now was to recompile dosbox on my nVidia card based system. Now dosbox is linked to libGL.so.1 and everything works fine, but I guess this should be changed in the official package also.

Yeah, this happens if we build libGL apps when fglrx-utils (now catalyst-utils) is installed instead of libgl.  We need to get this rebuild - thanks for the report!

Re: dosbox is missing libGL.so.1.2

Hello,

so this is my first post here.

Another workaround i found out is to create a new symbolic link /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> libGL.so.100.14.19 (the one from nvidia-utils). My question: would this lead into problems one day to do so? Or is it safe so create such a link?

Hm, if the probem also fades, when i rebuild the package, i will eventually try out ABS with dosbox.

Hmm... you can never miss with a link like the following: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

This should be helpful for problems that might occur with future catalyst/nvidia/mesa packages.

But I would still prefer a recompile.
