Linux OpenGL Problems
I''m trying to compile Lesson 1. Everything compiles well, except I get a warning that exit() is implicit in one of the functions. Then, when I double click on it, it says the file cannot be found. It does the same thing with some of the Mesa demos too, but not all. So I try opening it in console. Then it gives me something about not being able to find the visual capabilites. Anyone know whats wrong?
Open a terminal, run the program from there, and post exactly what output is given where. I''m having a hard time guessing exactly what you mean, although I have a couple ideas.
The error is:
Development tool? What do you mean, like gcc? That''s the compiler I''m using. Or do you mean Mesa3D?
GLUT: Fatal Error in lesson1: visual with necessary capabilities not found.

Are you using KDE? The Konkeror file browser has troubles executing the apps in their current folder.
Try executing the program from the console.
EDIT: typing "./program-name". Just in case you don't know.

First guess, mebbe you don''t have GLX enabled? Does glxgears work?
Apart from that, it would help if you pasted in the code that you''re using to create the glut window.

That's the code I'm using, and yes, glxgears works. Thanks, though!
EDIT: Ok, I feel stupid now. I had previously used the linux source code, but just now I tried the Linux/GLX source, and it works fine. Thanks for all the help!
