[Mesa3d-users] Successfully compiled mesa-static does not work

[Fra <nw...@4o...>]

I'm doing something very wrong.... hope that some can help me.

I've compiled Mesa 7.3 with 'make linux-static' on a i386, ubuntu intrepid.
Copied the headers (the GL/ directory)in /home/nw/usr/libs/include/ and
libGL.a in /home/nw/usr/libs/lib/ .

I compile with:

g++ -o mosaic.bin -s -O6 `sdl-config --cflags` -Wno-write-strings
-I/home/nw/usr/libs/include/ `sdl-config --libs ` -lfftw3 -ljpeg *.cpp
/home/nw/usr/libs/lib/libGL.a

I checked, the headers are actually the ones provided by Mesa, if I remove
them gl.h is not found and compile fails.
Anyway, it compiles fine, but once I launch the program all glWhatever() do
nothing, for example the output of 

 printf("OpenGL version is %s\n", glGetString(GL_VERSION));
 printf("OpenGL renderer is %s\n", glGetString(GL_RENDERER));
 printf("OpenGL vendor is %s\n", glGetString(GL_VENDOR));

is just

OpenGL version is (null)
OpenGL renderer is (null)
OpenGL vendor is (null)

Instead, when compiled with 'make linux' and 'make install'ed everything
works.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
