Subsystem OPENGL gives linker error

walker · Post by **walker** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 3:37 pm

calling OpenWindowedSreen on OpenScreen crashes the X-server... (no subsystem used i.e opengl)

Try terrain.pb or camera.pb

If trying with Subsytem opengl I get a linker error: cannot find -lXxf86vm ...

found the reason... it was the x installation itself... did a fresh install and no crash anymore... (weired..... ) BUT... the subsystem opengl still did not work...

Running Ubuntu 7.04 on VMWare and using PureBasic 4.01, I get the exact same error message with the 'opengl' subsystem activated.

The sprite.pb demo file compiles & runs ok.
My code uses Sprite3D as well and produces the linker error message.

How does one reinstall X on Ubuntu? Is this possible with Synaptic or should I use apt-get?

Thanks!

install libxxf86vm-dev:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev

Thanks Trond, installing this package indeed resolves the linking problem. I've got other problems now, but I have to delve into these before asking new questions here....

Thanks again!
