Source tarball needs INSTALL wiki page listing required C libs #63
Open
Description
Collecting all the platform-specific C library names is a big task. Need to start with a wiki page.
While trying to install from the source tarball I got this error:
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
[snip]
checking GL/glu.h usability... no
checking GL/glu.h presence... no
checking for GL/glu.h... no
configure: error: The OpenGL C library is required
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
Turns out that it's non-trivial to figure out which package provides OpenGL on Ubuntu. Installing libgl1-mesa-dev which provides the virtual package libgl-dev didn't work.
An INSTALL file that lists the additional packages needed on different platforms would be nice.
