Two problems with current CVS (Oct 17 14:40 PDT 2001)

  1. libhermes isn’t compiling at the moment. Could be because I’m running
    gcc-3.1, but might be due to other causes. I can’t find any references to
    a Makefile.am there so maybe that dissappeared?

  2. initializing OpenGL (prior to this compile :slight_smile: under fbdev nicely locked
    computer. Somehow I don’t think that’s desireable… Is there a safe way
    to tell if OpenGL isn’t available?
    (note - a real lockup not just console lockup, all system halted)
    It’s done this for kernel 2.4.10 and 2.4.12

Thanks for any assistance - I’ve been trying to debug the latter for
almost a week now and the former’s got me puzzled…

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

Are you using automake 1.5 or have you upgraded to it? I got unresolved
externals belong to libhermes, if I used it. Going back to 1.4 fixed this
problem.

Got it. Yep - automake-1.5, autoconf-2.52, libtool-1.4b.

Backing up versions not an option, most other projects currently in devel
here need 1.5.
Sorry.

So I’ll try to find a fix g.

Post later once I’ve got one. Suspect something silly…

PS: my OpenGL prob is a lot more serious for me. OpenGL supposed to fail
without trouble if it can’t run, right? And not leave console in a locked
state???On Wed, 17 Oct 2001, Lutz Sammer wrote:

OpenGL when present but not useable (such as loading it under FB console
when the only opengl present is for DRI/X), opengl apps segmentation

Not sure how to fix this so I thought I’d post. Note that testgl shows
this…

Update/aside from earlier message: lockup occurs in 2.4.12 / matrox G450
FB driver. I’m starting to think that 2.4.12 isn’t very good… svgalib
locks on exit, as does X… sigh
Oh, and my 2.4.10 doesn’t have alt-sysrq-K. grr
