Description Wesley Tanaka 2000-10-11 03:04:04 UTC 
when trying to build tuxracer-0.60.1, I get the following error, which goes
away after I download the current version of glext.h from
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/glext.h

> make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/tuxracer-0.60.1'
Making all in src

I am using this version of Mesa-devel

Summary     : Development files for the Mesa 3-D graphics library.
Description :
Mesa-devel contains the static version of the Mesa 3-D graphics
library (a graphics toolkit very similar to Silicon Graphics' OpenGL
graphics utilities toolkit) and includes files needed for development.
If you're going to develop Mesa applications, you'll need to install
mesa-devel. If you're just going to use Mesa, you don't need to
install mesa-devel.
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-11 10:29:40 UTC 
Copying in the header file from SGI OpenGL to Mesa will cause all sorts of
problems and is definitely not the right fix for this.
I'm checking what current versions of Mesa are doing.

Fix for tuxracer
Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-11 10:46:39 UTC 
There's no reason whatsoever why tuxracer should require the newer glext.h.
It compiles without problems and starts (can't test anything more, I don't have
3D hardware) if you simply remove the check (patch attached).
