Whichever way you do it, the instructions should be consistent. At the moment I contend that they are not because you have freeglut as optional and the "-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lGL -lGLU" in the cmake configure. Either take that out of the configure and add it in the Commands Explanations or make freeglut required. jb. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev blfs-dev -- BLFS Development List - Linux From Scratch<http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev> lists.linuxfromscratch.org The blfs-dev list is for discussion of BLFS Book development.
