21:12.21 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r41131 10/brlcad/branches/cmake/src/other/tcl/CMakeLists.txt: Still a lot of work to do, but this gets as far as building tclsh on gentoo

21:25.52 branco hello , I'm trying to compile on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit with nvidia proprietary drivers . I installed everything that I was supposed to according to the wiki page but it won't build opengl support .
21:27.01 branco I ran './configure --enable-optimized | grep opengl' and got the output 'checking for glEnable in -lopengl32... (cached) no' which is strange .
21:28.41 ``Erik do you have libopengl32.so ? it might just be saying that your library isn't named that
21:28.41 branco I'm not waiting for an answer but if someone will answer I will read it on http://ibot.rikers.org/%23brlcad/ and come back to follow up on this tomorrow .
21:29.18 ``Erik -lopengl32 is more like a winderz check, it should be "checking for glEnable in -lGL" for your platform
21:30.29 branco ah ok so if I find my libopengl32???.so and link to it with libopengl32.so then it should find what it needs ?
21:30.42 ``Erik at the very end of the configure run, there'll be a printout of the end configuration, that'll tell you if it's trying to use opengl... (and fwiw, opengl really doesn't buy ya much yet, it'll still be wireframe displays in mged)
21:31.07 ``Erik well, the name "opengl32" is a windows thing, not a linux thing... linux uses the UNIX convention and calls it libGL.so, so -lGL
21:31.41 branco hey I greped for opengl and that's what I got
21:31.48 branco in ubuntu
21:32.19 ``Erik heh, OpenGL will tell you more, or grep -i opengl for case insensitive :)
21:32.57 branco i greped the output of the configure script , not my filesystem
21:33.08 ``Erik at the end, it should say something like "OpenGL support (optional).............: yes"
21:33.15 ``Erik right, that's what I'm talking about
21:33.18 branco but its not
21:33.32 branco its opengl support ................... no
21:33.53 branco greped the output of the configure script
21:34.06 ``Erik hm, I think it's disabled by default
21:34.14 ``Erik lemme look
21:34.44 ``Erik yeah, it's disabled by default, it doesn't buy ya anything and last I checked, was a bit buggy
21:34.55 ``Erik is there any reason you need OpenGL support?
21:35.00 branco what about archer ?
21:35.18 branco it throws some opengl error and doesn't wonna work
21:35.39 ``Erik hehehe archer is still experimental and not recommended for general use :D
21:35.54 starseeker branco: try ./configure --with-ogl
21:36.08 ``Erik try doing ./configure --enable-optimized --with-opengl
21:36.12 ``Erik ah, starseeker beet me to it
21:36.24 starseeker but yes - Here Be Bugs
21:36.29 ``Erik was reading the .ac to see if it was --with or --enable
21:37.48 ``Erik (starseeker: I think one of my cats has decided that I'll die in my sleep tonight... she wasn't amused that I dared to use a vacuum while she was napping)
21:40.00 branco bye all
21:40.08 *** part/#brlcad branco (~branco@79.114.40.205)
21:41.39 ``Erik wonders if the "With OpenGL....: ${}" line should be struck for now :/
21:48.04 starseeker ``Erik: LOL
21:48.28 starseeker yeah, I think if cats were to draw the devil it would be in the form of a vacuum
21:51.21 ``Erik they're not afraid of it, she was curled up on the couch and after I vacuumed the living room, she was just glaring at me for a while
21:51.51 starseeker hehe
21:52.15 starseeker probably thinking something along the lines of "I worked hard getting that fur distributed, what do you think you're doing?"
21:54.14 ``Erik mebbe, but I'm guessing it's more about the noise... they already get annoyed that I insist on turning on the noise boxes when I'm home
