Description Stu 2005-03-03 10:51:32 UTC

Ok, I already fixed this, but I thought I'd post it, just in case some else did the same thing. I:
1) unmerged ati-drivers
2) changed to using the radeon drivers supplied with X.org and the kernel
3) tried to emerge -uD world
4) QT failed to compile with a message like:
In file included by glext.h glxext.h : file not found

I believe the unmerge ati-drivers got rid of the glxext.h file, but didn't update the glext.h file to a version that does not depend on it.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I don't know. Actually I think it did the right thing. I don't think the unmerge
ati-drivers should go and update all the glx*.h and gl*.h files, but maybe it
should?

To fix this, just re-emerge xorg-xll.

Just changing to FIXED, becuase it's here more as a note then a bug. Where should I put stuff like this in the future?

I'd like to reopen the issue.

I'm running into the same problem. opengl-update doesn't help as it requires >=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4, my X11 is xfree-4.3-r8 and my OpenGL is provided by it's DRI drivers. qt doesn't list xorg as a prerequisite, so it should be able to compile with xfree. And so far I see no reasons for me to switch to xorg.
