General Questions
|
||
|
|
======= =========
|
||
|
|
(1) Will "freeglut" ever support (fill in the blank)?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the GLUT library supports the feature, "freeglut" should support it. If "freeglut" does not support it and there is a call for it, then we are certainly open to adding it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the GLUT library does not support the feature, "freeglut" is probably not going to. The "freeglut" library was designed to be a drop-in replacement for GLUT, a lightweight and simple windowing system for the OpenGL Red Book demonstration programs and no more. If you want a more functional windowing system we suggest that you look elsewhere.

|
(#) I have a question that is not answered here. What do I do to get an answer?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the "README" files that came with the distribution. If the question is not addressed there, please post it on the "freeglut-developer" mailing list on the Source Forge web site.

*nix Questions
|

|
|
==== =========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1) How I can build "freeglut" with debugging symbols and traces?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CFLAGS="-g $CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="-g $LDFLAGS" ./configure \
|
||
|
|
--enable-debug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(2) How can I have both a normal, and a debug-enabled version of "freeglut"?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd ..
|
||
|
|
mkdir freeglut-normal
|
||
|
|
cd freeglut-normal
|
||
|
|
../freeglut-2.x/configure
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
cd ..
|
||
|
|
mkdir freeglut-debug
|
||
|
|
CFLAGS="-g $CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="-g $LDFLAGS" \
|
||
|
|
../freeglut-2.x/ configure --enable-debug [*]
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[*] optionally use --program-suffix=dbg to have them coexist when installing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(3) My linking fails due to undefined symbols. What libraries do I need to link?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Look at the generated libfreeglut.la or use libtool --link (see the libtool manual).

|
|
(1) My linking fails due to undefined symbols. What libraries do I need to link?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All the required libraries (and a couple of unnecessary ones) should be automatically included thanks to the "#pragma comment (lib" statements in "freeglut_std.h". If your linking fails due to undefined symbols, there is an excellent chance that "freeglut" is not the culprit.
