Bug 100916

Just FYI this was removed from mesa a long long time ago.

    glw: Remove GLw source.
    
    libGLw is an old OpenGL widget library with optional Motif support.
    It almost never changes and very few people actually still care about
    it, so we've decided to ship it separately.
    
    The new home for libGLw is: git://git.freedesktop.org/mesa/glw/

Tim is spot on here - libGLw was split to a separate repo [1]
Give master a try and even this patch [2] on top.

I have exactly zero experience with the library so please forward any patches to mesa-dev mailing list. Ideally with --subject-prefix="PATCH:libGLw" so stand out from the rest ;-)

Oh. There is a git repo. Wasn't aware of this. ;-)

Emil, thanks for adding me to Cc. I would be happy if anybody else would also give openSUSE's patch a try.

There is some more information on

  https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1082297

If things are working out for you I'm happy to send the patch to the mesa-dev mailing list
as suggested by Emil.

Just FYI we don't normally close bugs until that patch has been committed.

Sorry for this. Reopening. Brian wanted to push this.

Brian meanwhile pushed this.

    libGLw: Use newly introduced GLAPIVAR for variables
    
    GLAPI doesn't have an 'extern' in some circumstances. This way,
    variable declarations become definitions (fdo #100916).
