Hi Everyone,

After about 2 weeks of obsessive compulsive building and packaging...

Here is a swig 1.3.19 patch and FC2 RPM and SRPM:
http://sgce.cbse.uab.edu/pyopengl/

You'll also find the RPM spec and patch files.  I didn't get the FC1
RPMs to build... But they shouldn't be too far off if someone wants to
work on it.  Togl patches weren't included so togl support isn't there. 
However that could be installed separately.  I would also be interested
to see if the patch enables swig1.3.19 based compilation on other
systems.  The patch isn't the cleanest in the world.  Getting the
GLUT.py and GLE.py files to go where they're supposed to was a blatant
hack.  Other things tried to keep up with the general setup scheme. 
Another semi-hack was having the modules named _modname so the target
.so's would be _modname.so as swig 1.3.19 makes all .py calls to
_modname by default.

I think the package requirements below are correct, but I'm not
positive...

FC2 packages needed for the RPM:
python-2.3.3-6
freeglut-2.2.0-11
tix-8.1.4-96.1
tkinter-2.3.3-6

FC2.dag packages needed for the RPM:
python-imaging-1.1.4-1.1.fc2.dag
python-numeric-23.1-0.1.fc2.dag

Development packages needed to compile PyOpenGL w/ patch:
python-devel-2.3.3-6
freeglut-devel-2.2.0-11
xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-5
swig-1.3.19-6.1

And to compile the RPMS:
rpm-build-4.3.1-0.3

Hope everyone finds this useful.

--David

And now replying to it...

The dev-2_1 branch in CVS has already been moved to using SWIG 1.3.21.  
There is also a minor patch posted to the list a few weeks ago which 
allows for building on Gentoo, and I assume, Fedora Core 2 (though the 
person who reported the Fedora Core 2 failure never actually reported 
back on whether everything was working, the fact that they were getting 
to the point where WGL was missing on Linux suggests it worked) merely 
by skipping the SWIG generation step (as was originally intended in the 
code).

I'll take a look at the patches to see if there's anything I missed in 
the 1.3.21 conversion.

Have fun,
Mike
