Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Parse error in GLU.__init__.0102.inc

Hi John.

When you made mesa did it make the sgi one or the mesa
one.  The sgi one requires a c++ compiler, but is the
recommended one, as the mesa one is old, and not being
maintained.

When you configure mesa it says:
checking which GLU to build (SGI requires a C++
compiler)... Mesa

or 

checking which GLU to build (SGI requires a C++
compiler)... SGI

I think the header file is the same in either case
though.


If after using the SGI version it still doesn't work
try this:

in src/config.h maybe line 112, try removing some of
the defines:
#define GLUquadric GLUquadricObj
#define GLUnurbs GLUnurbsObj
#define GLUtesselator GLUtriangulatorObj



If none of that works maybe have a look at this:


Could be a problem with PyObject_HEAD and your python
installation.  PyObject_HEAD is a macro included from
Python.h.  Which gets it from object.h from your
/usr/local/include/python2.2/ directory.


This is from my object.h  

Is yours similar?

#ifdef Py_TRACE_REFS
#define PyObject_HEAD \
	struct _object *_ob_next, *_ob_prev; \
	int ob_refcnt; \
	struct _typeobject *ob_type;
#define PyObject_HEAD_INIT(type) 0, 0, 1, type,
#else /* !Py_TRACE_REFS */
#define PyObject_HEAD \
	int ob_refcnt; \
	struct _typeobject *ob_type;
#define PyObject_HEAD_INIT(type) 1, type,
#endif /* !Py_TRACE_REFS */



That's about all I can think of for now.  If you find
out what was wrong could you please tell us what the
problem was?


Good luck :)
