Comment 2 Julian Ospald 2013-03-10 15:54:04 UTC

does not work

freeglut  ERROR:  Function <glutStrokeCharacter> called without first calling 'glutInit'.

Comment 3 Agustin Ferrari 2016-01-21 06:05:21 UTC

I was able to compile the program without having to make changes in the ebuild (possibly the latest versions of media-libs/mesa have solved the bug that commented Julian).
I tested the program with the following games:
games-action/maelstrom
games-arcade/emilia-pinball
games-arcade/frozen-bubble
games-arcade/vor
games-arcade/xgalaga
games-engines/odamex
games-fps/zandronum (from haarp overlay)
games-roguelike/cataclysm-dda and games-roguelike/stone-soup (tiles version)
games-simulation/openttd
games-simulation/singularity
games-sports/billardgl
games-strategy/freeciv

But it only works with BillardGL. In the README also mentions the following: "Currently, libglfps only supports apps that use double buffering" so it is possible that only work with a limited number of games.
