I actually got started a while back with snipping out the glut dependencies from the input and main loop code and putting them into a "fg_os.cxx" file. Our requirements are pretty simple. I'm just now coming out of a period of business at work, and can start picking up the FlightGear stuff I have sitting around. First on the list is the Nasal-based fuel system, which is almost there (the Nasal works, the YASim changes aren't debugged yet). The ssg "font object" would be another good candidate, as would the de-glutification stuff.

This is exactly the same problem that bit Red Hat about a year ago, got me into a viscious flame war with Mike Harris, and ultimately led them to pull glut from their distribution entirely.

It looks like Debian Testing has managed to temporarily have insufficient dependency constraints. It is currently possible to have incompatible versions of glut and glX libraries installed. Other Debian Testing users might avoid doing an upgrade for a few days until packages with correct version requirements have been propagated. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
