[Plib-users] first try failed

[Anne-Marie M. <a-m...@li...>]

I have Mandrake 7.0, Mesa and glut-3.5 and I can't compile plib-1.1.11.
I get the error message:

in file included from puLocal.h:24
                      from pu.cxx:2:
pu.h: In method 'puFont::puFont()':
pu.h:87:'GLUT_BIPMAP_8_BY_13' undeclared (first use this function)

and so on with 'GLUT_WINDOW_HEIGHT', 'GLUT_WINDOW_WIDTH'........

I am a beginner so I am really lost. My son would like to try Tux, a =
Quest.... What is wrong?
Mesa3.0 is rpm and glut compiled fine.

Thank you for your help!

GLUT 3.5 is *VERY* old.  I think you need version 3.7 or later - you should be
able to find that either on http://www.opengl.org or at http://www.mesa3d.org

Well, all those symbols would be defined in /usr/include/GL/glut.h

Try this:

   grep GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13 /usr/include/GL/glut.h

...what does it say?

I don't know - but I'm sure we can find out!

What graphics card do you have?  Mesa 3.0 is quite old too - we are up to
3.2 or so now...for some graphics card, 3.0 will be OK - but for others,
you wouldn't get enough performance to run Tux.

nothing. It can't find GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13  in glut.h
I got glut-3.7.tar.gz, I did everything according to the README file, I got
no error message but in
/glut-home/lib/glut I don't have the libglut.so.3.7 file in taht directory
but in.
/usr/X11R6/lib.
What can I do?
Thank you very much

So, it was certainly a GLUT version problem.

So, you have glut 3.7 installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so and the new
header file in /usr/include/GL/glut.h ?

Then all you need to do is this: (You need to be 'root')

  cd /usr/lib
  rm libglut*
  ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libglut.so libglut.so

Remake PLIB, (don't forget to 'make install')...ditto for Tux_AQFH and
you are ready to roll.

...tadaaaa!

Now that the libraries are linked, PLIB compiled fine but not Tux_AQFH!!!!!
This is the error I get (end of the text) :
........

Well, this *still* looks like a GLUT installation problem.

...both undefined?!?

Those are both GLUT tokens that should be in GLUT 3.7.

What I now don't understand is how PLIB is finding this stuff
but Tux_AQFH isn't.

So, if I do this:

   grep glutBitmap /usr/include/GL/glut.h

I get a dozen lines of text containing this:

   GLUTAPI void *glutBitmapHelvetica18;

...and this...

   GLUTAPI int GLUTAPIENTRY glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character);

Do you see those lines?

If not then you still don't have the 'glut.h' file from GLUT 3.7
installed in /usr/include/GL/glut.h where it belongs.  But if that's
the case, I don't understand how PLIB built without errors.
