Hi,

On Mandriva 2006.1, I am installing dosbox 0.72. My problem is when after completing ./configure fine - the make errors out on a missing header file (glu.h) - I detail the error below.

Just to confirm what library reqs are and what I installed prior to dosbox:
I read the INSTALL requirements for dosbox and installed
SDL source (SDL-1.2.12.tar.gz)
SDL_sound-1.0.1.tar.gz
curses is installed
libpng is installed
zlib
SDL_NET (optional) - left this out
ALSA_Headers - left this one out

Anyway, here is the core of the problem:

Here is the key lines in the make error output for dosbox:
In file included from sdlmain.cpp:52:
/usr/local/include/SDL/SDL_opengl.h:45:58: error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [sdlmain.o] Error 1

Checked the /usr/X11R6/include/GL/ directory...
I have gl.h and glx.h and so on but no glu.h. I suspect this is the reason the compile failed. What package or gl source could I be missing here?
I think dosbox make is looking for /usr/X11R6/include/GL/glu.h
Not sure what source I should be looking for. Anyone know where I could get this. Thanks.

glu.h is part of the Mesa openGL library and it's probably under /usr/include/GL. Make sure it's installed in your system.

Thank bathory,

I got a hold of the mesaLib source. I'll try compiling and installing. Hopefully it won't have any more dependecies. yep, dosbox is looking it in the /usr/X11R6/include/GL/ when compiling. Just to add that I have nvidia video card driver installed and glxgears working going back a few months.

Just to update anyone who is interested - I installed Mesa and the glu.h header c file is there in /usr/X11R6/include/GL/. Compiled dosbox again and it was fine.
One thing I notice is that the dosbox installer leaves the binary in the src directory where I extracted the tar to compile in the first place. eg. /home/jryan/Download/dosbox-0.72/src

Would it better to move it into /usr/local/bin or some more formal directory?

Actually, apologies, after running the executable dosbox once in the /src after the make - I now notice the dosbox executable in /usr/local/bin.
