[Pyopengl-users] Mesa 3.1 and 3.2 fix

[Tarn W. B. <twb...@ma...>]

As some may know there are some problems compiling PyOpenGL2 on Mesa 3.1 or
3.2.  This is through no fault of PyOpenGL, but instead occurs because Mesa
has a misbehavin' GLU header.  I've added some stuff to the setup script to
detect this and execute a work around.  The modified setup script is in
"mesa-setup-patch.tar.gz".  In all, the possible work arounds are:

1) Use the modified setup script (first extract "PyOpenGL-2.0.0.44.tar.gz"
then "mesa-setup-patch.tar.gz" from the same folder),
2) or comment out the line "#define GLU_VERSION_1_2 1" in the GLU header
"GL/glu.h" ,
3) or upgrade to the SGI GLU library which supports GLU 1.3 and is available
via RPM at the Mesa homepage,
4) or upgrade Mesa, also available at the Mesa homepage.

thanks all,
Tarn
