New description:
Collecting all the platform-specific C library names is a big task. Need
to start with a wiki page.
While trying to install from the source tarball I got this error:
{{{
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
[snip]
checking GL/glu.h usability... no
checking GL/glu.h presence... no
checking for GL/glu.h... no
configure: error: The OpenGL C library is required
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
}}}
Turns out that it's non-trivial to figure out which package provides
OpenGL on Ubuntu. Installing libgl1-mesa-dev which provides the virtual
package libgl-dev didn't work.
An INSTALL file that lists the additional packages needed on different
platforms would be nice.
Comment:
Bumping to next major release.
