Solved: missing glxtokens.h

[Jno]

In another thread, I mentioned that I failed to compile a subversion checkout under Linux, with the following error message:

Code: Select all

In file included from src/gldrv/gl_init.cpp:70:
/usr/include/GL/glx.h:27:26: error: GL/glxtokens.h: No such file or directory

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/games/VegaStrike/vegastrike'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Loki suggested that I follow it up in this thread.

Some searching indicated that this might be related to my using non-free (proprietary) NVidia drivers, so I updated to the most recent which supports my somewhat aged Geforce FX (i.e. driver version 71.86.06). This didn't have any effect, so more digging turned up a suggestion to install package x11proto-gl-dev. That did the trick, and wrote the correct set of header files in /usr/include/GL, so that I could complete a compilation. Unfortunately, it clobbered the NVidia driver, so I had to install that all over again at the next restart. The two seem to be living comfortably together now, I have completed a compilation and I'm getting to grips with the newer features in VS.

So it turns out to be a configuration issue with the driver and the relevant dev pgk and most likely following on from Xorg's recent revolution "No Xorg.config file "lots of grief for lots of people till they do the a reconfigure of X to generate that file.So i am not that surprised that there are further consequences and i imagine there will be more
