Description Andrei Slavoiu 2009-04-26 18:13:39 UTC

The libGL.la and libGLU.la files installed by mesa explicitly add -L/usr/lib to the LDFLAGS of any package using them, thus forcing them to use the native libraries when crosscompiling.
Another problem is that libGLU is written in C++ but used by many C only programs. It's best to add -lstdc++ to the dependencies list of libGLU.

Reproducible: Always

Okey applied for now, thanks for patches.
Hopefully we will get rid of these two files soon.
