 Benjamin,
Well I would suspect if the compatibility version were fixed it would
 not be 3.7.0 since freeglut is considered to be 3.8.0 relative to the
 glut versions.
Since it breaks some cases where glut works and is supposed to be
interchangeable it should set the compatibility version to the
same thing as glut.

Thanks

[Fink-devel] freeglut package

2004-09-21 Thread Jack Howarth
I have had my proposed freeglut packaging in tracker for
awhile now and there has been no further comments even though
it is still marked as undergoing evaluation.

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=414256aid=1017330group_id=17203

Is there any particular problems with this package keeping it out of
unstable?
Jack

Is there any reason to use freeglut?
I tried compiling it myself and compiled rbogl against it and then I
found some examples that work with glut are broken with freeglut.
Also freeglut I compiled has compatibility version 12.0.0 in the library
while glut has 3.7.0. Does your packaging fix that?

Thanks

Michal,
I have been told that the compatibility version is rather arbitrary
and that is a non-issue. All the major Linux distros have adopted 
freeglut since it is trully open source and, more importantly, actively
maintained. As for rbogl, I would suggest you file a bug report with
the form on freeglut.sourceforge.net. In the meanwhile, I'll check the
current Fedora development freeglut srpms to see if there are any
patches we might merge into the fink freeglut package.
  Jack

The compatibility version may be a non-issue on linux, but Mac OS X 
enforces compatibility version at the OS level, so if it's different, 
freeglut and glut's libraries will not be interchangeable.  This would 
definitely preclude it's inclusion in Fink as something that would 
provide/replace glut.
