Description Tristan Matthews 2008-11-29 17:29:58 UTC 
After running autogen.sh, the configure scrip fails on this line:

dnl Check for GLEW/OpenGL
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(glLoadIdentity, [GL opengl32], , AC_MSG_ERROR([Opengl not found make sure you have Opengl installed]))

with the error:

checking for library containing glLoadIdentity... no
configure: error: Opengl not found make sure you have Opengl installed
  configure failed
Comment 1 Daniel Macks 2008-12-01 05:51:58 UTC 
On my OS X 10.4 box, glLoadIdentity is actually resolved via -framework OpenGL, not -lGL directly.
Comment 2 Tristan Matthews 2008-12-01 18:53:35 UTC 
did you change your own configure.ac then?
Comment 3 Daniel Macks 2008-12-01 20:07:18 UTC 
I didn't try it (I don't have enough sandbox machines to play with CVS releases of this right now), but a standard OS X porting trick is to pass flags like that via LDFLAGS. First gotta see if it solves the problem before working out a clean & portable ./configure test alternative. OTOH, you noted that the test failed, but not really *how* it failed. Would be useful to see the config.log results to know what the actual error was (could be something unrelated to the actual symbol check).

ping ?  (should be ok now)
Comment 5 Tristan Matthews 2009-07-27 18:51:52 UTC 
Yeah it is fixed now, thanks.
