I'd like opinions on what would be the best way of determining at
runtime what glide library to use? The current problem is that
there are 2 Glide libraries for Glide3 - one for Voodoo 3, and
another for Voodoo 5. This is inconvenient to say the least.
Currently, we symlink libglide3.so.3.10.0 to
glide3/libglide3-v3.so or glide3/libglide3-v5.so
Unfortunately it is currently done manually, so if a user has a
Voodoo 5, it explodes out of the box since the symlink points to
the v3 lib by default.
Why there can't just be ONE Glide3 library is a whole other
discussion... ;o) My current thinking is to create a new
frontend library containing only an _init(), _fini() that scans
the pci devices looking for a voodoo 3/5 card, and dlopen()'s the
appropriate library.
Any pre-existing code out there to solve this problem? I don't
have any 3dfx cards to test with at all, so any help getting a
solution happening would be great.
Thoughts/comments/suggestions, etc.?
TIA
