Add depexts to the package.

[eriklovlie]

Tried to get one of my projects to build on a new computer, but for some reason it failed due to not being linked to libGL. Then I tried the tgls example program "trigl4.ml" and this had the same issue:

$ ocamlfind ocamlopt -linkpkg -package result,tsdl,tgls.tgl4 -o trigl4.native trigl4.ml
$ ldd ./trigl4.native 
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffc3b59000)
    libSDL2-2.0.so.0 => /lib64/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f4c1ee6c000)
    libffi.so.6 => /lib64/libffi.so.6 (0x00007f4c1ec63000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f4c1e8cf000)

    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f4c1f19b000)

I tried to pass "-lGL" directly and it then worked:

$ ocamlfind ocamlopt -cclib '-lGL' -linkpkg -package result,tsdl,tgls.tgl4 -o trigl4.native trigl4.ml
$ ldd ./trigl4.native

I'm not a dune/jbuilder expert but this workaround seems to work for now:

(jbuild_version 1)

(executable
 ((name yoyo)
  (ocamlopt_flags (-cclib -lGL))
  (libraries (core_extended tgls.tgl4 tsdl))
  (preprocess (pps (ppx_jane)))
  ))

Normally the libraries are automatically configured using the gl package-config package.

Could you maybe try to give me the output of:

pkg-config --libs gl

and if the package doesn't exist, does it maybe live under a different names (see the output of pkg-config --list-all) ?

[eriklovlie]

It seems this package doesn't exist on fedora 28:

$ pkg-config --list-all | grep -i gl
libglvnd                       libglvnd - Vendor-neutral OpenGL dispatch library vendor interface

Doh! It is in mesa-libGL-devel:

Things are working after installing mesa-libGL-devel and then reinstalling tgls.

Ah ! Thanks for the info. I guess the package should maybe declare depexts, though formally they are not needed to compile the package.
