[Plib-users] error in compile

[Pete H. <pet...@st...>]

Hi All.

I'm having trouble compiling PLIB 1.0.20 Mandrake 7 Linux. 

'./configure' works fine, but when I run 'make' it chokes compiling simple.cxx,
talking about loads of undefined references to glut functions (i.e.
glutInitWindowSize, glutPassiveMotionFunc etc.) I have got glut installed, and
it's worked fine with other stuff. Could anybody possibly shead any light on
the reason for this? TIA

Pete

PS I can send the full stderr output if it is helpful.

Try adding

-DGLUT_IS_PRESENT

to the gcc command line

Steve changed things recently to have a choice between
the glut or the freeglut libraries

I don't think that's the case for PLIB 1.0.20, (I made *that*
mistake in 1.1.6 and fixed it in 1.1.7).  It's more likely
that GLUT is installed somewhere weird.

What did the output from ./configure say?
(You may need to remove config.cache to see it re-run properly)

Where is glut.h and libglut.a?  I'd expect them to be in
/usr/include/GL/glut.h and /usr/lib/libglut.a
