Description Steve Lincoln 2002-07-08 07:21:31 UTC

After getting the voodoo3 card working,  any time I attempt to emerge 
any program which has dependencies on gl.h,  they do not complete the 
ebuild successfully,  failing at: 
 
 /X86 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -Wp,-MD,.deps/gridWrap.pp -c gridWrap.cc  -fPIC 
-DPIC -o gridWrap.o

I dont see how this is really our problem (you nuked your system without
portage/ebuilds lending a hand :P) ?

Ok, enouth joking ;-)

We do have support for 3DFX cards, although there is a slight issue.

How to get it working:

1) Unmerge all media-libs/mesa* related ebuilds, and NEVER install
   Mesa from an other source than XFree86!!!!

2) Remove the 3dfx stuff from DRI website.

3) Merge "xfree" without "3dfx" or "voodoo3" in your USE

4) Merge "xfree" with "3dfx" and "voodoo3" in your USE

Ok, I know this is tedious, but the reason is that the glide
libraries needs XFree86 to build, and XFree86 needs the glide
libraries to build the tdfx DRI drivers :/
