[Celestia-developers] Celestia Engine: GLUT.

[Pat S. <pa...@su...>]

While doing some autopackage research, I've noticed that while Celestia
is always linked against GLUT, it's not always used.

    $ objdump -x /opt/celestia/bin/celestia | grep NEEDED | wc -l
    64

So, 64 libraries are linked into Celestia-Gnome on my laptop...

    ldd -u -r /opt/celestia/bin/celestia | wc -l
    46

... of which 46 are unused.

/usr/lib/libglut.so.3 is one of those, and I believe it's always
explicitly linked in.

Is that right? I'm not that familiar with the engine, but should every
Celestia package out there depend on GLUT?
