Hi,
Awesome!
You saved my eyes!
I confirmed operation by Nevada b104 on MacBook Late 2008 (NVidia Geforce
9400M).
However, a little correction was necessary.
It is not though configure needs 'pkg-config --libs xext'.
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xextproto.pc had been found, it decided to substitute it.
and, -lXext was added to LIBS in nvclocl/src/Makefile.
thanks,
Kazuyuki Sato
