I noticed Dave did a bunch of commits last week to "Update OpenGL path"
which made me curious - it turns out, most of these are bugs that had the
wrong path anyway.
This code is wrong:
test -f /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so || {
echo "Missing OpenGL libraries. Stopping."
echo "As root, run: \"/lib/svc/method/ogl-select start\""
false
}
/usr/lib/xorg/modules does not have libraries in, but is the X server
loadable modules (which is why I closed Dave's bug about not having a
*.pc file for this as "Not a bug"). You don't link with it any more
than you link with Firefox plugins.
The entire /usr/lib/xorg directory could be missing on a build machine
without any consequences - after all, why should you need the Xorg server
on a headless build machine?
If you want to check that you can link with GL, you should be checking
/usr/lib/libGL.so, not anything under /usr/lib/xorg. Anything under
/usr/lib/xorg (or it's previous home of /usr/X11/lib/modules) is a
private interface, subject to change without warning at the drop of a hat.
While you're in there, you probably want to update the other test:
test -f /usr/X11/include/GL/glx.h || {
to instead be checking /usr/include/GL/glx.h
And to fix the bad instructions of:
As root, run: \"/lib/svc/method/ogl-select start\"
to something more like:
As root, run: svcadm enable ogl-select
