[PyOpenGL-Devel] RedHat 8.0 compilation works...

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

I have just finished confirming that we can compile PyOpenGL (and run 
the result) under RedHat 8.0.  There are a large number of warnings 
printed during compilation, but there don't appear to be any errors. 
 For those who are building, here is the set of dependencies I wound up 
installing.  I'm not sure if the python-devel was required, I had 
installed it for another package:

glut-3.7-8.i386.rpm
glut-devel-3.7-8.i386.rpm
    This was not available by default, needed to install it.
python2.2.2-2.2.2-1.src.rpm
python-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
python-devel-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
tkinter-2.2.2-7.i386.rpm
    This was not available by default AFAICS.
tix-8.2.0b1-74.i386.rpm
    This was not available by default, is required by tkinter

Numeric-22.0.tar
    "setup.py build install"
swig-1.3.13.tar
    Just a standard install.

Imaging-1.1.3.tar (not actually required for compilation)
    This took a little jigging, though if I'm right, the thing that 
finally make it work was just installing tkinter and tix, as I had 
assumed they were already available.  Just following the instructions 
for building worked after that.

Unfortunately, OpenGLContext isn't yet working.  There is something 
wrong with SimpleParse under RedHat using the non-recursive mxTextTools 
extension that means the VRML97 parser is nonfunctional.  Will need to 
do more testing to figure out how to fix that.  It may work with other 
mxTextTools versions, I just haven't tested them, since I'm focusing on 
PyOpenGL this evening.

I'm about to start the process of doing the next alpha release.

Enjoy yourselves,
Mike
