Install MacOS glut not found

[ffelten]

Hello,

I am trying to install Argos on my mac. I have installed all required packages using brew and everything seems good. However, when I try to run make, I get errors like this: ld: library not found for -lglut

I managed to track the problem down to build/.../CMakeFiles/...dir/link.txt files (in various places).

By manually replacing -lglut with -framework GLUT, I managed to compile. Yet I think this problem might reoccur since these look like autogenerated files. The problem is that I have no clue on where to look to fix it at the root.

Cheers,

Looks like an issue in my way to detect OpenGL. Can you give me some details about your system? Mostly OS version and architecture.

MacOS Monterey v12.3.1, Intel chip. XCode 13.3 and clang-15.

Can you show me the output of CMake when you run

$ rm -rf build
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../src

The message

-- Found GLUT: TRUE

is different from mine. On my system I get the full path to the framework rather than TRUE. What's your CMake version?

[ilpincy]

I dug a bit deeper – on my system everything works as usual, so it's difficult for me to pinpoint the issue on your end. Do you have multiple versions of GLUT installed, by chance? Maybe freeglut confuses CMake?

Maybe we can shed some light with this command:

$ cd build
$ grep GLUT CMakeCache.txt

CMake version 3.24.2

Yes, you have freeglut installed and that is confusing CMake. You can fix that in a couple of ways: you can temporarily uninstall freeglut, or you can manually set the correct path for GLUT_LIBRARIES in CMake.

Awesome! Thank you!
