I remember playing tuxracer for the short time i had mandrake and decided to get it. I look and it cost $$$$?? My question is the one that comes with mandrake is that the full version or just the demo??

thanks

wow that's depressing... they made it cost money.... blimey. afaik it will still be the GPL version 0.60something on mandrake.

the free version is at http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/ (version 0.61)

i think the commercial version is version 1.0

In trying to configure tuxracer i am getting this error

Code:

checking for GL/glx.h... yes
checking whether glx.h defines glXGetProcAddressARB... no
configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date.  You can get a more recent
copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net).

In the tuxracer FAQ it mentions this

Quote:

Q:

When compiling under Linux, I get some OpenGL errors. What's going on?

A:

This could be due to several factors.

1.

Make sure you're using a version of the tuxracer package > 0.60. That version had problems with some older gl.h header files; later versions implement a workaround to this problem.
2.

Your OpenGL is too old. If you're using Mesa, make sure you upgrade to version 3.2 or later (version 3.3 is the most up-to-date, and seems very stable despite being a development version). Also make sure you install the libraries and header files in the locations described in the next item.

If you get a warning about glXGetProcAddressARB being undeclared, then you need a more up-to-date version of the glx.h header file. This may indiciate that your entire OpenGL is out of date, but it's possible that all you need is a more recent version of glx.h. You can get a copy from the latest release of Mesa -- it's in the include/GL directory.

I am running slack 9, should have the lastest but i downloaded mesa libraries anyway and replaced glx.h anyway with the new one. Still getting the same error. Here is some info about that file. From my original one

Code:

brian@xxxx:/usr/include/GL$ cat glx.h.old | grep glXGetProcAddressARB
extern void (*glXGetProcAddressARB(const GLubyte *procName))( void );

and from the new one

Code:

brian@xxxx:/usr/include/GL$ cat glx.h | grep glXGetProcAddressARB
extern void (*glXGetProcAddressARB(const GLubyte *procName))();

You think this has something to do with gcc3.2?? Any help would be great.

thanks

EDIT: BTW, OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 4.0.4

In the configure script, add the line :

#define GLX_GLXEXT_PROTOTYPES

at line 4067 between

#include "confdefs.h"

+#define GLX_GLXEXT_PROTOTYPES

#include <GL/glx.h>
int main() {
char *foo = (char*) glXGetProcAddressARB;

wr3ck3d, did it work after adding the C-stuff?

slippytoad · 08-01-2003, 02:14 PM

It worked for me on RH 9 after adding the #define line! Thanks a lot!

zeppelin · 08-02-2003, 02:09 PM

yup me too. thanks a lot!
