Missing GL development files when compiling VLC 0.9.9a

[jgg]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile VLC 0.9.9a but I get into dependency errors.

When I issue #./configure --prefix=/usr/vlc I get:

Code: Select all

... checking for X11/extensions/Xv.h... no checking for X11/Xlib.h... (cached) yes checking GL/glu.h usability... no checking GL/glu.h presence... no checking for GL/glu.h... no checking GL/glx.h usability... yes checking GL/glx.h presence... yes checking for GL/glx.h... yes configure: error: Please install GL development package. Alternatively you can also configure with --disable-glx.

Could anyone please tell me if I'm missing any packages so I can get VLC 0.9.9a working?

Thanks a lot.

i had the same problem, libgl1-mesa-dev didn't resolve it, checking the configure errors this showed up:

...
checking for X11/extensions/Xv.h... no
checking for X11/Xlib.h... (cached) yes
checking GL/glu.h usability... no
checking GL/glu.h presence... no
checking for GL/glu.h... no
checking GL/glx.h usability... yes
checking GL/glx.h presence... yes
checking for GL/glx.h... yes
configure: error: Please install GL development package. Alternatively you can also configure with --disable-glx.

installed xlibmesa-glu-dev and worked with version vlc-0.9.9a

thanks rémi though, cause searching throgh mailists only got me "install mesa", with your comment i could narrow the search

Thanks for your answers.

I installed both packages and x11proto-xext-dev as needed, but now I get a new error related to ld:

--> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

I'm using Debian Lenny 2.6.26 with ld 2.18.0.20080103. Any clue?

Thanks.

Installing libxext-dev solved it.
