[Plib-users] Configuring on Mac OS X

[Jim M. <ji...@io...>]

I'm having trouble running the configure script on Mac OS X. (I perused 
this list's archives, but the latest message about this topic didn't 
seem helpful.) I would appreciate any suggestions from the group.

The first problem is with the host argument. The configure script looks 
for "*-apple-darwin" but the file config.sub does not recognize or 
allow anything with "darwin" in it. I tried using "--host=pmac" which 
is an abbreviated form of "powerpc-apple", but then the configure 
script doesn't correctly check for frameworks 'n other Mac OS X stuff.

Next, the configure script bombs here:

	checking for glutGetModifiers in -lfreeglut... no
	checking for glutGetModifiers in -lglut... yes
	checking for dlclose in -ldl... yes
	checking for ALopenport in -laudio... no
	checking for ANSI C header files... yes
	checking for windows.h... no
	checking for GL/gl.h... no
	configure: error: OpenGL header file not found

I use fink and the GL include dir and libs are in /sw/, so I use 
"--with-GL=/sw". OpenGL itself lives elsewhere on Mac OS X, though. I'm 
not sure what to try next.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you for your help.

Jim
