[PyOpenGL-Users] PyOpenGL on Solaris

[Dave R. <dr...@ca...>]

I've just recently downloaded PyOpenGL for use at home (Linux) and at
work (Solaris) so forgive me if this has been gone over before.

Is anyone else is interested in getting PyOpenGL working on Solaris?
I've got it at least partially working, but it would be nice if
downloadable version worked "out of the box" on Solaris.

Here's what I did (using Solaris 2.7 and python2.2c1 and gcc 2.95.3).

1. downloaded PyOpenGL-2.0.0.44.tar.gz

2. made a sunos5.cfg that pointed to files in /usr/openwin

3. deleted files in the following directories:
   interface/GL/SUN/* 
   interface/GL/SUNX/*
   interface/GL/EXT/*

I got compile errors if I didn't delete these files and I don't
understand what would have to be done to make them work.

4. it didn't seem to install the GL and GLU /__init__.py and
   __init__.pyc files but did create the .so files

5. I copied the above mentioned.py and .pyc files from a Linux system
   and now all the examples in the redbook directory seemed to work
   fine.

I'm willing to help getting this working on Solaris if anyone who
understands the binding details is interested.

Thanks,
Dave
