Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Solaris install problems

[Todd A. P. <ta...@sa...>]

The problem appears to be with the Python compilation and *not* with
PyOpenGL.  If one compiles python with the proper flags then PyOpenGL
picks up on this and uses those same flags during its compilation.  I
made the changes shown below in the configure.in script under the
Python2.2 root directory and re-ran autoconf.  If you do *not* do this
python appears to install fine except for a couple of extensions (zlib
being one of them) which have exactly the same problem as I was having
with PyOpenGL (hundreds of unknown symbols during link).  Correcting the
problem in python is the way to go.  After this, PyOpenGL compiles and
installs just fine (including the togl extension).
