Re: Problem with libGLU.so on mesa installation from source

Ken,

Thanks for the pointer to that reference! I was able to install
freeglut-3.0.0 from that guide.

However, I cannot install the latest version of FreeGLUT which I got from
the mesa download site, which is 7.9.2. And this is why.

Brian suggested that I simply configure and make. But there is one problem.
There is no configuration file. Look at the directories I get when I unpack
the tarball:

But now you might say, there are makefiles inside the src/glut/glx and
src/glut/beos directories, why don't I simply make them? I tried that, but
they are looking for a file that does not exist in the tarball:

skumar@KumarLaptop:~/Software/src/Mesa/Mesa-7.9.2/src/glut/glx$ pwd
/home/skumar/Software/src/Mesa/Mesa-7.9.2/src/glut/glx
skumar@KumarLaptop:~/Software/src/Mesa/Mesa-7.9.2/src/glut/glx$ make
Makefile:18: ../../../configs/current: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '../../../configs/current'.  Stop.
skumar@KumarLaptop:~/Software/src/Mesa/Mesa-7.9.2/src/glut/glx$ grep -i
configs Makefile
include $(TOP)/configs/current
skumar@KumarLaptop:~/Software/src/Mesa/Mesa-7.9.2/src/glut/glx$

As you have seen, the TOP directory contains only two subdirectories, src
and include.

Thanks,

Kumar
