Bug 13974 – Blender E-Build can't find OpenGL libs... Might be the configure script.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Leviathan 2003-01-15 10:12:20 UTC]

Okay... so I'm trying out the new ebuild of the blender 2.26, and it breaks on
me in the beginning of the build, claiming it cannot find a specific library.
Here's the last few lines of the make. 
~~~~~
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link g++  -g -funsigned-char   -o libblender_STR.la
  STR_String.lo  -lXxf86dga -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXext -lopenal -lvorbisfile
-lvorbis -logg -lesd -lsmpeg -lSDL -lutil -lm -ljpeg -lpng -lcrypto -lssl
-lpthread -ldl -lstdc++ -lz 
grep: /usr/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /usr/lib/libGL.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libblender_STR.la] Error 1
~~~~~
After sering this, I started looking for libGL.la. I was quickly informed that
this lib is in /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib. It should also be noted that the same
problem happens from the most current CVS checkout I did (which was around 7am
Pacific time), so it could just be a problem with their configure script.

Also... here's the output of emerge info, as per request:

Hey lev, could you attach or email [e-mail] a tarbz2 containing
the output of:
qpkg -I -i
and, after the failed emerge:
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/config.log
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/configure
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/Makefile.in
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/Makefile
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/src/Makefile.in
/var/tmp/portage/blender-2.26_pre20030109/work/blender-20030109/src/Makefile

also, could you do an emerge blender 2>&1 | tee emergelog and send me the emerge
log?   All this will help me figure out what's going on..

Okay... check it out. 

It turns out that the blender config scripts use features only included in the
newer versions of automake. I have sucessfully built blender 2.26 from CVS, and
could probably do so from the ebuild as well (as it seems to be just a CVS
snapshot). The bottom line is: The ebuild should be changed to require autoconf
2.57 and automake 1.7.2. Earlier versions probably work but 1.6 definitely
doesn't work. There are other dependancies to be set, as described by the README
from the most recent CVS snapshot. They are as follows: OpenSSL, Python,
mxtexttools, libjpeg, libpng, zlib, ode, openal, glut, and mesa.

I hope this is of some use to someone. (:

Okay, I was wondering why I couldn't duplicate the bug.  I thought I wouldn't
have to re-automake/autoconf the tree, since I'd already bootstrapped it.  Silly
me. :)

I'll do a better pass over the dependencies and make a better build.

is this still valid? Trying todo some cleanups here.

Was fixed earlier, no need for this to be 'new' again.
