Introduction to GLU

This package provides the Mesa OpenGL Utility library.

GLU Dependencies

Required

OpenGL (libglvnd or Mesa; only the normal installation is required for either)

Installation of GLU

Install GLU by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup ..                   \
      --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX      \
      $(pkgconf libglvnd  &&     \
      echo -D gl_provider=glvnd) \
      $(pkgconf --print-provides \
      gl | grep "gl =" 1>&2 &&   \
      echo -D gl_provider=gl)    \
      --buildtype=release &&

ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install &&
rm -vf /usr/lib/libGLU.a

Command Explanations

$(pkgconf ...): These commands check which provider OpenGL has been installed from based on pkgconf files. Then it passes the correct provider to meson to ensure this package works properly.
