Another e-mail +on the same mailing list from the same person, in reply to his original +missive, is dated 11/9/2010 at 10:03 PM. This file is an attempt to +capture the knowledge in those two e-mails. + +The author of the e-mails was trying to compile a static "freeglut" +library on Mac OSX version 10.5.8. He tried building both freeglut +versions 2.4.0 and 2.6.0 with a command ... + +./configure --disabled-shared --enable-static +make + +... and got a "non_lazy_ptr" error in both cases. He was able to fix +the problem by using the following "configure" command instead: + +./configure --disable-warnings --disable-shared --enable-static CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/X11/include -L/usr/X11/lib LDFLAGS=-I/usr/X11/include -L/usr/X11/lib -framework GLUT + + +Any further information on building "freeglut" on a Mac would be deeply +appreciated. I believe that much of the information on building it on +*nix systems also applies to the Mac. + +John F. Fay +1/22/11 + -- 1.7.10.4
