libGL and libGLU, while nvidia-driver installs just libGL (which is
perfectly fine, since only libGL must directly interact with hardware
via kernel module, for example). Recently bsam@ committed
linux-f10-libGLU
port with allowed me to port WorldOfGoo; previously, it was impossible
without ugly hacks, since I use nVidia card + drivers, which conflict
with linux-*-dri (the latter was the only provider of libGL for f10
until
recently).
Ideally, any port that needs libGL and/or libGLU should depend on libGLU
*and* either libGL *or* nvidia-driver. Ports that depend on linux-*-dri
to get these libs are very likely to drag conflicts sooner or later
(this is especially true for nVidia cards owners).
Perhaps Boris can shed more light on the subject.
I've just emailed a patch for games/linux-worldofgoo-demo. Many other
ports which need linux libGL/libGLU (either for nvidia or not) use
those checks. It seems to work fine for other ports and should fix
the case here. All conflicts seems to be dealt by that check either.
Am I missing something?
Isn't it better to fix in Mk/bsd.linux*.mk rather than try to fix all
other ports?
Cheers,
