Linux OpenGL

[spamsk8r]

I was trying to compile Wine on my Mandrake 8.1 box and it failed with an error that it couldn't find glu.h, which is an OpenGL header file i believe. This file is nowhere to be found on my computer, where can I get it. I went to the OpenGL website and it said that it should be included with X11.

On my SuSE box, it comes in the xf86glu-devel package.

If there's no similarly-named package on your distro, then investigate the Mesa software rendering packages. Mesa is known to package OGL headers I think.

You can probably download a wine daily RPM that works on your box, and is compiled a/ OpenGL support.

try searching at rpmfind.net, or search on google for "glu.h" and try to find an rpm w/ it or just the file itself or whatever

Mesa-devel-3.4.2-7

there .. it's Mesa development packagge ( make sure to install the rpm that comes for your distribution, Mdk 8.1 in this case )
