Re: Need Mesa or OpenGL for compiling src rpm?

Hello all,
New to the list. enjoying messing around with cygwin as I haven't dabbled in
linux for a year (and haven't ever messed with cygwin until recently).
(long story short: Getting message 'You need Mesa or an OpenGL-System
to compile Armagetron.' when compiling src rpm).

My last error cant figure out...


checking for glVertex3f in -lopengl32... no
OpenGL not found. Maybe it needs X11 to compile? Checking that...
checking for main in -lX11... yes

checking for main in -lXext... yes

configure: error:
 You need Mesa or an OpenGL-System to compile Armagetron.
 Maybe your libGL needs the X libraries and your system does not
 find them? Read the file doc/install_linux.html.

I thought cygwin came with Mesa libs for Cygwin/X? (Cyg has... "OpenGL
Graphics - The Mesa 3D Graphics Library provides software-based OpenGL
support.")
I tried somehow on command line specifying where the mesa library is. but i
wasnt sure if this path was even right (probably not)?

% ./configure --x_libraries=/usr/X11R6
and didnt work as well.
I wasnt sure at this point, i was hoping for extra help.

Thanx in advance.

Sorry, I don't know anything about Armagetron but it looks to me like the configure script is getting confused and thinks that it's looking for the win32 OpenGL rather than libGL.dll.a. You may need to provide the configure script with some schooling on *.dll.a files.
