Hi! I'm trying DESPERATELY to figure out an automake configuration problem that has plagued Mesa 4.x distributions for a LONG time. Here is the deal, the libGLU library needs to be linked as a *shared* library
using g++ (using the gcc 3.1 compiler suite) and NOT gcc. g++ is used to make all of the object modules that are in the shared library, libGLU.so, but gcc is used adn the result is an undefined symbol that prevents OTHER apps that use libGLU from operating correctly. I think this is partly due to a buglet in g++, based on info I found in the gcc documentation on C++ exception handling. I'm writing to this mailing to see how to configure the automake ".am" files to use "g++" to create the shared libGLU.so library and NOT gcc. Outside of posting the Makefile.am file to this list, where is the BEST place to start? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance! Peace.... Tom
