Summary: Build Failures Solaris 8

Initial Comment:
I have made serveral attempts to patch up the build
process so I can build PyOpenGL 2.0.0.44 on a Sparc
Solaris 8 platform. First failure is due to incorrectly
identitfying the platform and having no config file for
Solairs. For some reason it get identified as "TvoPT5".
So I copy the linux config file to that name, edit it
and proceed with the build.

Then the build runs for a while outputing tons of
warnings before it dies compiling the file:
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC

So I throw in a define:
#define GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_EXT        0x8078

Only to have it die later with parsing errors. Of
course I need this to get wxPython to build!!S

I found and applied the changes recommended by Todd Alan
Pitts to building Python. Inaddition to the changes he
recommended I also modified the LDFLAGS macro in the
Makefile to add:
-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib

Inspite of these changes I still am not able to get PyOpenGL
to build. It fails as before with GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY_EXT
not defined and it fails in this location:
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC
-DGLX_PLATFORM -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include

Um, what I was saying is, you can build wxPython without
PyOpenGL (not that you can build PyOpenGL w/out wxPython,
though that's certainly true).  That is, unless you need the
wxPython OpenGL widget (wxGLCanvas), you can simply
configure wxPython and wxWindows to not build in the
wxGLCanvas support.

Actually I do need wxPython to get Bit Torrent to run. I
will try the users group list to see if anyone has had
success in getting a build on a Solaris platform.

You _don't_ actually need it to build wxPython unless for
some reason you need the wxGLCanvas.  Simply undefine the
GLCanvas-enabling flag (you'll have to ask on the wxPython
list to find out where that is).

It almost sounds as though your system is using a very old
or feature-poor OpenGL library, the vertex array extension
is, if I recall correctly, an OpenGL 1.1 feature.  I don't,
however, have a Sun machine on which to test.  If you really
are interested in PyOpenGL, then please post a request to
the PyOpenGL-users lists asking whether people with your
particular architecture, OS, and OpenGL library version have
been able to build.

Aside: I'd thought that a failing extension build wouldn't
cause a problem... will have to look into that at some point.

You might try the CVS or 2.0.1 versions as well, I doubt
there's been any change in this area, but there's always a
remote possibility.
