[PyOpenGL-Users] PyOpenGL 2.0.1.03

[Scott N. <scu...@ho...>]

I ran into two different swig related bugs when trying to install the new 
PyOpenGL2.0.1.03 package on RedHat 8.0

Both involved the file setup/build_w.py, in particular the function below.

def check_swig_version(swig_name):
        sin,sout,stderr = os.popen3(swig_name)
        if serr.read().find("1.3.13") == -1:
            return 0
        else:
            return 1


Problem 1:  serr is not correct variable (should be stderr), I fixed this 
but then got the error that I wasn't using swig-1.3.13

Problem 2:   Died because I wasn't using swig-1.3.13, I made the 
check_swig_version function return 1 regardless of the version of swig 
found, this made the install work perfectly.


FYI, I probably need to upgrade my swig anyways (currently running 
swig-1.1), but I didn't have any problems installing once I made the 
check_swig_version return 1.  If I upgrade swig to the latest version, isn't 
it over 1.3.13, won't that cause the install to fail as well?  This newest 
patch fixed the other problems I was running into with the 
texture_compression library.
