Bug 93449 – celestia depends on media-libs/glut instead of virtual/glut

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mariusz Pękala 2005-05-21 10:53:18 UTC]

As in bug 92613 and bug 93444 the dependency is specified as 
media-libs/glut instead of virtual/glut: 
 
DEPEND=">=media-libs/glut-3.7.1 
    virtual/glu 
   ... 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
 


Expected Results:  
DEPEND="virtual/glut 
 

I hope that the fact that a specific version of glut has been  
requested is not a problem when dealing with freeglut.  
=media-libs/glut-3.7.1 changes are from year 2002,  
freeglut version is dated 2004 (as in ChangeLog).

Have you tested with freeglut?

[Comment 2 Mariusz Pękala 2005-05-26 11:22:11 UTC]

Yes, it *runs* with freeglut, but it was compiled with glut. 
I plan to recompile with freeglut, in future.

OK, I recompiled celestia with freeglut, and no errors emerged. 
 
Occasionally I suffer some machine (Xorg in fact) lockups in opengl applications, 
but I don't think it has anything to do with glut. These locks were hitting me 
long before I switched from glut to freeglut.

If you run >=xorg-x11-6.8.99.14, you'll get a backtrace at the bottom of a log
after it crashes. It may not be useful without USE=debug, though.

tested on amd64 and it seems to work fine so ive fixed it in cvs
