Hi Greg, I am not familiar with the Linux side of things, but the cmake not found error suggests that dev headers for glu, and maybe opengl itself are missing on your system. That will stop you from building anything opengl related. Your package manager will probably be able to provide these headers / and sdk. Search for glu and see what you get. freeglut svn trunk is built with cmake, whereas 2.8.1 does not use cmake (hence the error). I am not familiar with building 2.8.1 on Linux, but assume that 2.8.1's readme files note the correct way to do so.

Dee, thanks for this. Off to my package manager and to check anything which looked remotely like opengl or its known (to me) relatives, and particularly things with 'dev' in their namestring. Much installing later, I run cmake . again and get: -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/.../freeglut Some of those files did the trick! I can now pause a bit and think. I still have to run make and make install. Can I specify where I would like things installed, do you know ? Where I have the build files is a bit off the main track. Again, thanks for the advice, and to the list for its patience. Cheers /Greg *** On Sat, 2013-12-07 at 10:03 +0800, Diederick C.
