RE: [ogl-sample] Having trouble building libglut.a on Irix 6.5

[Kathleen Langone <kathleen.langone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did finally get things to build - I got things to work w/ using the
-DNO_FAST_ATOMS switch...

I was able to build the glut, rgb, font and tk library, but not aux, widget, 
isfast and pdb. 

I am using the gcc compiler which might have some bearing on the situation. 

Most of the demos just seem to need the first 4 libraries listed.

If I run into any more "critical" problems - I'll post more in ogl-sample.

thanks for your reply!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kathleen,

   Sorry for the delay.  Been away from the mail list for a while.

   Here's what's in my SGIFastAtom.h file (with linenumbers).

167  #if 0 /* COMMENT */
168
169  To portably use fast atoms in X your code, put this in your #include 
section:
170
171  #include <X11/Xatom.h>  /* This defines _SGI_EXTRA_PREDEFINES if fast 
atoms are supported. */
172  #ifdef _SGI_EXTRA_PREDEFINES
173  #include <X11/SGIFastAtom.h>
174  #else
175  #define XSGIFastInternAtom(dpy,string,fast_name,how) 
XInternAtom(dpy,string,how)
176  #endif
177
178  Then, where you would normally use XInternAtom or XmInternAtom, use:
179
180    atom = XSGIFastInternAtom(dpy, "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", 
SGI_XA_WM_DELETE_WINDOW, False);
181
182  This lets your X source code using fast atoms work when compiled on X
183  implementations that lack SGI's fast atoms optimizations.
184
185  #endif /* END COMMENT */

   Is the "#if 0" in your header?  This file hasn't changed in quite
a while, so its probably not the rev of Irix.

   I'm sure its a typo, but its "LCDEFS = ...".

   If its still a problem, can you provide any more info?

Thanx,
Dave
