[Plib-users] Re: [FGFS-Devel] Can't build glut

[Jon B. <js...@ha...>]

I am atill trying to build plib. I may have discovered part of the problem,
and that is that even after having run ./configure, and having the gl, glut,
et. al. headers in
/usr/local/include/gl, somehow the ./configure.in script for plib is NOT
setting GLUT_IS_PRESENT. When running ./configure I get this:

..
..
checking for GL/gl.h... (cached) no
checking for GL/glu.h... (cached) no
checking for windows.h... (cached) yes
checking for joystick.h... (cached) no
checking for linux/joystick.h... (cached) no
checking for GL/glut.h... (cached) no
checking for GL/freeglut.h... (cached) no
updating cache ./config.cache
..
..

Well, that's just plain bogus, because the GL headers are right where they
are supposed to be. I wish I knew more about ./configure and how it worked.
I tried putting the glut.h header in all worts of places where it should
have been found, but I still get the same error for the compile.

Now, if I go in and manually

#include <GL/glut.h>

I get a lot farther. A lot. So, under CygWin, there appears to be some
wierdness in the configure process - at least on my machine...
