Kubuntu 10.11 and OpenGL

qxoz

Hi everybody!
I`m new on Linux. I try build "Boxes" demo from QtSDK but get the GL missing error:
error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory

Where i can get OpenGL library and where i should place it on my Kubuntu?

Thanks for replays.

Use standard apt-get way to get OpenGL stuff. You have to install MESA dev packages. There are many available, I usually install most of them ;)

Example packages:

libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libopenvg1-mesa-dev
libglw1-mesa-dev

Those should also pull remaining packages as dependencies.

I installed all
but there is new error:
/boxes/qtbox.cpp:327: error: ‘gluPerspective’ was not declared in this scope

may be i should setup some settings for it?

Not sure. Usually, I keep installing new mesa packages as long as there are any errors. Usually works. I've been using it to run OpenGl in Qt5, so it should also work in Qt4.

These two packages will be enough (in theory...) for opengl:

sudo apt-get install libgl-dev
sudo apt-get install libglu-dev

And of course, in your *.pro file for QtOpenGL module:
QT += opengl
