cannot find the library /usr/lib/libgl.la

I'm trying to create a kmymoney2 package with abs, but I always get the error

cannot find the library /usr/lib/libgl.la

and then the compilation fails.  I do have an NVIDIA card, but I did not install the NVIDIA driver yet.  Has anyone seen this error and if so, what is the correction for it?

Thanks.

Re: cannot find the library /usr/lib/libgl.la

I believe this is only provided by the Mesa pkg. but anyways

Re: cannot find the library /usr/lib/libgl.la

Thanks for your reply.  This solution worked!  I have been wondering if I'd ever get that KDE application compiled.

The only problem I'm having now is that once the application is compiled, and installed, and I try to run it.  I get the KDE Error 'Malformed URL' when dialog boxes are opened.  I just thought I'd post that here in case it's related to the libGL.la issue.  The application, from what I can tell, still runs fine.  That error is just annoying as it pops up for every new screen produced by the application.

hmm ... i think something like URL cannot have chance to be related to libGL in any way ... what is most probably the trouble: some path is set wrong in your build()

try something like this

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Re: cannot find the library /usr/lib/libgl.la

That worked as well.  I had changed the following line

make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg/usr install

to

make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
