/usr/lib/libGL.la - the solution

i do not have any binary graphics drivers installed on my system but only xfree86 - but as maintainer of kde-apps, i needed to be able to compile against kde

with help from other devs and a friend and of course the internet, here the solution i use:

the libGL.la that finally worked is this:

# libGL.la - a libtool library file 
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.4.3 (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36) 
# 
# Please DO NOT delete this file! 
# It is necessary for linking the library. 

dlname='libGL.so'
library_names='libGL.so'
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lm -lXext -lX11 -ldl'
current=1
age=0
revision=0
installed=yes
dlopen=''
dlpreopen=''
libdir='/usr/lib'

you can also download it directly here:

make sure it is a+rx

Re: /usr/lib/libGL.la - the solution

Is this "patch" going to be included in some base packages?
Is it needed only for the KDE apps? If yes, maybe it should be in kdebase/kdelibs. If no.. I have no idea...

I know that this problem is fixed in the upcoming KDE 3.3 (probably included), but what if this is needed in some other places? Shouldn't this be put somewhere... more accesible (& removed from the KDE packs)?
