I'm trying this out - seems like it would be kinda fun for a while anyway. Quick info about my setup: Athlon XP 1400 Nvidia Geforce 2 Debian woody Running the binary drivers from Nvidia, and I have the Mesa stuff from them installed as well. When I go to compile 3ddesktop, I get: c++ -g -Wall -O2 -c -o 3ddesk.o 3ddesk.cpp c++ -g -Wall -O2 -c -o xutil.o xutil.cpp c++ -g -Wall -O2 -c -o faceset.o faceset.cpp c++ -g -Wall -O2 -c -o util.o util.cpp c++ -Wall -I. -g -O2 -o 3ddesk 3ddesk.o xutil.o faceset.o util.o -lm -lGLU -lGL -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXt -lXi -lm -lXxf86vm 3ddesk.o: In function `render_scene(void)': /usr/src/3ddesktop-0.1.3/3ddesk.cpp:945: undefined reference to `glutBitmapHelvetica12' util.o: In function `ourPrintString(void *, char *)': /usr/src/3ddesktop-0.1.3/util.cpp:292: undefined reference to `glutBitmapCharacter' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [3ddesk] Error 1 It seems as though I'm missing some kind of glut library. However: # dpkg --get-selections | grep glut glut-data install glut-doc install glutg3 install glutg3-dev install # dpkg --get-selections | grep -i mesa xlibmesa-dev install xlibmesa3 install Anybody have any thoughts? -- "Time's fun when you're having flies." -Kermit the Frog Cole Tuininga Lead Developer Code Energy, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 0x43E5755D ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
