Gentlemen, Since it has been quite a while, both in time and changes, since our last release, I think we should have a new one. This is an announcement of the first step towards a new release. If anybody knows of anything that should go into the code and is not in the code, please speak up within the week. I propose to declare a feature freeze next week some time. John F.

Dear List, Good, lets get this out. For linux users, this one seems serious! http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3407113&group_id=1032&atid=101032. I don't understand it though as the offending code is within ifdef guards that should make it windows only... And while a Linux user is looking at it, I hope they also have a chance to look at these: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3407093&group_id=1032&atid=351032. Few patches to be considered for merging.

Hello everyone. I'm starting to feel I'm the only Linux guy in here. You might have noticed I'm a bit inactive lately and haven't posted much in this list. I'm doing multiple things at once and haven't allocated any time for freeglut lately :) I am not volunteering to fix any build bugs on linux because I absolutely hate automake/autoconf, and everytime I touch it I get high blood pressure. However since we have some patches here, I decided to do a bit of superficial build testing just to see what works and what doesnt. Firstly I just svn uped (r938) and everything builds fine with my current setup, so I can't reproduce the first bug report that says it can't build. The second bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3407093&group_id=1032&atid=351032 talks about binutils-gold which I didn't even know existed, so I installed that package to test it. Now by reading the package description it looks like binutils-gold has an experimental new linker that breaks some previous assumptions. It explicitly states that it can't be used to build the kernel at the moment for instance. So I'm not entirely sure how much we should care if it can't build freeglut. Anyway indeed by installing binutils-gold, the demos fail to build with undefined OpenGL symbols, and the two patches in that bug report fix that for most of the demo programs except subwin. I've applied them, and then fixed the subwin Makefile.am manually, so here's an svn diff of the lot: ldgoldfix.patch. Finally I removed binutils-gold from my system and it still builds fine, so it seems safe to apply this patch. The other patch mentioned in that bug report is something about freebsd. I don't have any freebsd systems around here to test. The only thing that I can verify is that the slightly modified fbsd.patch file I've attached here applies and the resulting code builds just fine on linux, so it doesn't seem to break anything from a first glance. Finally since I'm a vain and self-centered individual, I decided to also send you a patch for the AUTHORS file that includes my name in there for your consideration :) (shameless.patch) -- John Tsiombikas http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/ |

OK the first bug was already fixed and I've addressed the second one. - John On 9/27/2011 8:32 AM, Diederick C.
