Linking issue with -lGLU
by Ben Payne · in Technical Issues · 09/23/2008 (5:39 pm) · 5 replies
Hello all, I'm not sure if anyone has run across this problem. I am trying to compile the game engine in openSUSE 11.0 and I'm having a rough time getting everything working.
I have ensured that I have Mesa3D installed with all of its devel libraries. I am currently running into this compile issue. If anyone could help me get around it, It would totally make my day. I'm trying to write a 3D game engine report for school, and once I'm done with that I'll be building a game with Torque.
--> Linking out.GCC4.RELEASE/torqueDemo.bin
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [out.GCC4.RELEASE/torqueDemo.bin] Error 1
make: *** [default] Error 2
Above is where my make command errors out. I have checked /usr/X11R6/lib which I think is where it is looking for the files, and nothing is in there. What do I need to install?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks I'll look around and see if I can figure it out. I'll post my findings back here in this thread.

No go.... any idea what application might be packaged with that library?

Regarding specific packages:
chunky@mills:~$ dpkg -S 'locate libGLU'
libglu1-mesa-dev: /usr/lib/libGLU.a
libglu1-mesa-dev: /usr/lib/libGLU.so
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
libglu1-mesa: /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.070002
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libGLU.so.1
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libGLU.so.1.3.070002
chunky@mills:~$
So at a guess, I'd imagine you need to install the mesa-dev package for your distro. Two minutes googling finds this:

Which contains libGLU.a

Do you have a libGLU.so? Historically it was possible to move the -lGLU before the -static in LINK.LIBS.GENERAL and just dynamically link with libGLU instead. FWIW I think most distros have a dynamic libGLU nowadays, I know my ubuntu machines do.Regarding specific packages:
