glut-link patch applied in 3.7-13 in rawhide glut-3.7-14 still generates the following errors when I compile: /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined reference to `glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX' /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelDeltasSGIX' /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSyncSGIX' /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSGIX' /usr/lib/libglut.so.3: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelRectSGIX' The other undefined references no longer occur. That is because you are using Nvidia libGL, and not Mesa libGL. The official GLUT sources, which are included in Red Hat Linux currently, are under a license which does NOT permit modification and redistribution. Brian Paul has produced changes to GLUT which allow any libGL to be used without having to recompile GLUT, and his changes are included in the official Mesa3D sources, however the GLUT author refuses to put his code under a license which permits modification and redistribution and is also legally binding. As such, Red Hat can not legally modify GLUT, and we will not modify it illegally. GLUT is officially being replaced with "freeglut" which is a true open source replacement for GLUT which is MIT licensed. freeglut is currently in rawhide experimentally, and will be updated to the latest freeglut release very soon which is a 100% replacment for GLUT. The freeglut project will be making their official release soon, and that is what will ship in future Red Hat operating system products. The official Red Hat recommended way that any users experiencing the problem you are experiencing in any Red Hat OS product which has shipped with Mark Kilgard's official GLUT, is to download the glut src.rpm and recompile it with the Nvidia (or other) libGL installed, and the problem is reported to go away, as GLUT compiles differently against different libGL implementations. Since the GLUT source code does not permit modification and redistribution however, Red Hat is completley unable to provide any bug fixes or other forms of modification to GLUT. However, what I plan on doing, is investigating shipping freeglut as a complete replacement for GLUT in all currently supported OS products once we've been able to have freeglut tested widely enough. In the mean time, users experiencing any problems with GLUT unfortunately need to recompile it themselves, or seek tech support from the Internet community. As an additional note, this unfortunate problem was caused by the license not being clearly understood when GLUT was added to Red Hat Linux. Had the license terms been clear that modification was not allowed, GLUT would never have been included in the distribution. Apologies to any customers whom are affected negatively by this. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030417 Description of problem: glut-3.7-link.patch id not applied. When I compiled the program that needs libglut.so, the following errors occured: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXBindChannelToWindowSGIX' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XGetExtensionVersion' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XQueryDeviceState' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XListInputDevices' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelDeltasSGIX' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSyncSGIX' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXChannelRectSGIX' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceState' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XOpenDevice' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `glXQueryChannelRectSGIX' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/../../../libglut.so: undefined reference to `XSelectExtensionEvent' Then the linkage of libglut.so is failed. I built the glut package with applying the glut-3.7-link.patch. And this self-made package has no problem showing above. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glut-3.7-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build programs using the library libglut.so Actual Results: "undefined reference" error occures and the program cannot link the libglut. Expected Results: the program can link libglut preperly. Additional info:
