Hello all, and Henry.
I'm trying to get FTGL to work from source. It will not compile becuase it is trying to compile a static library, and is trying to link to libGL.la (which does not exist on my system).
Now Does gem care if FTGL is static or shared?
On OSX, FTGL is statically linked, and I don't recall ever seeing anything but a libftgl.a on any system (although I guess it's a .dll on Windows). Is there any reason you need it to be dynamically linked?
hmmmm, Maybe it has to be static, but then the question is... how to build a static libGl to link it to? SUSE does not seem to come with one...
SUSE was great, it had all the upto date stuff, now my 8.0 is dated and I have to upgrade to get new packages... blech. Now that I actually have a lot of stuff in my linux system is when I need to change/ungrade the damn thing. :(
I've always been a SuSe fan, but one of the drawbacks was that most people didn't use it and any incompatibilities between RedHat or Debian could be a bitch to sort out. But they had the out-of-box experience down much better than the others and the configuration tools were pretty good as well. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
They make things really easy and its nice to have all the up to date stuff, but copying a DVD or 7 cdroms every year to keep it up to date... I wish there was a debian style dist update... Maybe I just have to byte the bullet and upgrade to 8.2...
