Wine/openGL help

Hi! I'm using Fedora Core 1, currently, and I'm following a tutorial on how to install half-life with WINE. It says I need to:

Quote:

Get the development packages for OpenGL for your distro. For Debian, this is xlibmesa-dev. Other distros should have similar packages. You are also going to need a file called glext.h. Let's see if you have it:

# updatedb
# locate glext.h

If your system doesnt already have glext.h, then you will need to get it before compiling WINE. I have made a copy available here, download it and put it in "/usr/X11R6/include/GL/". WINE will not compile with OpenGL support without this file.

I have two problems with this:
1) Where do I get these packages? Do they install automatically?
2)I have downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers for Linux. When I looked for the glext.h file, I found it under:

/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/include/GL/glext.h

This isn't where the tutorial said I should put the file if I didn't have it. So, I made a copy and placed it in /usr/X11R6/include/GL/ as well (I had to create the GL folder; it didn't already exist).

So, does this just go to show that I don't have the openGL developement packages?

Thanx for helping a :newbie: !!!

Right, it's probably called mesa-devel, opengl-devel or something similar. If you install all the developer tools and packages you should get it.

Okay. I did a search at rpmseek.com for "opengl". I found "opengl-core", "opengl-devel", "opengl-libgl", "opengl-libs", and "opengl-static". I found all of these for both "X11-" and "XFree86-". I did a "locate" for "x11" and "xfree86" and got lots of results for both!

Which devel do I need to get, and do I need the core/libgl/libs/static rpms?

Thanx a bunch!

Well, I did more searches on rpmseek.com and found all sorts of "mesa" related files (including "mesa-devel"). So, do I need "mesa-devel", "opengl-devel", "glu-devel", or what? What do I need it for: XFree86 or X11?

Thanx!

Don't use rpmseek, it's not what you want. Use the add/remove packages program in the system tools menu.,
