Description REdOG 2005-07-11 18:06:34 UTC
The server and admin binarys are built and installed just fine however.
The ./comfigure script has the following non fatal "error".

configure: WARNING: Client build has been requested, but GL is not fully available (missing gl.h)
     ... disabling client generation


No client binary (/usr/bin/bzflag?) is built or installed.

fix your opengl situation.

Since you didn't include nearly enough information for us to help you though,
you're on your own at this point.

Excuse me for not having a clue where gl.h comes from.

Excuse my assumption that the games developers would know what a configure
script was and might acutally read the one included with this package.

Excuse me for filing this bug.

why are you getting snippy ?  you didnt really give us any information other
than 'it failed' so how are we supposed to diagnosis the problem when it works
just fine on our machines ?  telling us a package 'is broken' when we have no
problems with it is not helpful

I was just returning the apathy. I did like the point that my opengl situation
was the problem, although I don't see how that helps to fix a broken ebuild. If
I get time(I probably won't) I will patch the configure script or ebuild add it
to my overlay update this bug for someone who will care to see.

You've missread the summary or maybe I've miswriten it, I was aweful brief. 

The `emerge bzflag` operation is "successful" but did not produce the client
binary. Some of the binarys are built and installed(the server and the admin
tool). But the client is not, because of the checking done with the configure
script. ./configure --with-client produces a non fatal error. Perhaps I should
have filed this bug upstream.

It's only "broken" for me on this specific machine.
