golang gl in ubuntu needs symlink to gl lib #15

Closed Triangle345 closed 8 years ago

Triangle345 commented 8 years ago

So in Ubuntu (or what ever other OS's) may contain libGL (from mesa-dev) in specific lib architecture folders. In order to compile golang gl you will need to symlink those to /usr/lib like so:

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so

Is this the only way? I am surprised that this isn't already done when installing mesa-dev.

If we need to do this then we should probably prepare a simple script and update the installation procedure to reflect this. I do not currently have an Ubuntu system available and thus will not enact it.

yea i ran this on ubuntu 16.04. This kind of relates to the other issue of creating a "project creator" app that helps out with this and even provides templates, at least until we create the editor.

Did it run on yours just installing generic mesa dev?

With the recent switch to 300 es (shaders) I was able to just straight up run what we had. My dpkg reports that I have mesa-common-dev and mesa-utils installed (on a debian 64 VM).

For reference, a full list of my dpkg --list | grep mesa: ii libegl1-mesa:amd64 ii libegl1-mesa-dev:amd64 ii libegl1-mesa-drivers:amd64 ii libgl1-mesa-dev:amd64 ii libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 ii libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 ii libglapi-mesa:amd64 ii libgles2-mesa:amd64 ii libgles2-mesa-dev:amd64 ii libglu1-mesa:amd64 ii libglu1-mesa-dev ii libopenvg1-mesa:amd64 ii libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64 ii mesa-common-dev:amd64

yea with this "install app" if we make it, it would package everything locally so you just install our game engine and run it, done. No external deps.

kmfarley11 commented 8 years ago

Are you referencing issue #2 when you talk of this install app? If so then we can probably just migrate the necessary information from here and close this issue.

Unless this is not fixed (in Ubuntu) via simple packaging: A simple test should be run to see whether a symlink is absolutely necessary, and whether installing a package (i.e. mesa-common-dev) properly fixes it. If a package installation fixes it then I propose we close / migrate this issue.

2 need to merge with this. Create new project app tool
