Hi!
I have trouble compiling VLC git against the new freeglut 3.0.0 :

make[4] : on entre dans le répertoire « /usr/src/git/vlc/modules »
  CCLD     libzip_plugin.la
  CCLD     librtp_plugin.la

Indeed the new freeglut installation doesn't seem to provide a "/usr/lib64/libglut.la" file (these are Slackware packages) :

I could not find any freeglut compile or install option to get a "/usr/lib64/libglut.la" file so I wonder if there is anything that can be done on the vlc side.

You need to reconfigure VLC.

Thanks for the answer.
Well that doesn't seem to be enough here. I ran a "make distclean" in the vlc directory, deleted "configure" and rerun bootstrap, and even cloned the whole directory again with git but I still get the same error.

I have no idea, sorry.

Looks to me that the pkg-config file for libcaca or something underneath it, is wrong, or the config.cache file is stale.

Sorry, it's been quite some time before I could have a look at this.
You were right, libcaca is indeed compiled against freeglut 2.8.1 and thus against linglut.la on Slackware.
I never used caca so I didn't realize the problem before.
Adding a "disable-libcaca" option to configure allowed the compilation to go through.
Thanks!
