Description chafporte 2006-05-07 21:59:09 UTC

this bug occurs both in 6.4.2 and 6.5
I've built mesa-lib and mesa-glut with:
make linux-x86-static
it works fine.
But when I link libglu.a and libglut.a with my application
it says that libglut.a invokes an unknown reference: gluErrorString

Have you tried changing the order of the libraries in your link command? 
Specifically, put -lglut before -lGLU.

Comment 2 chafporte 2006-05-08 14:57:52 UTC

you are right, inversing the order solved the problem.
my unix compilation skills are obviously rusty,
I did not remember that the libs order matter.
thanks, and sorry.
