  • Looking for 64-bit glx.h

    From Doug Laidlaw@2:250/1 to All on Mon Jan 23 02:14:10 2023
    A new version of Kodi has just been released, codenamed Nexus. Since it
    is so new, I have to compile it from source. I have done this before,
    but it isn't straightforward. Only gnucash could be worse. Searching
    tells me that glx.h is not a normal header file, and it should be in my proprietary driver "devel" package, but I can't find it anywhere. My
    driver is nVidia. The forums only mention ATI cards.

    TIA,

    Doug.

    I suggest running urpmf glx.h

    Thanks. I knew there was such a command. I need a cheat sheet.

    And, as predicted, it was in the nvidia "devel" package. I had tried searching with rpmdrake, but it returned all the ***-glx.h files. which weren't accepted. When the driver package was called nvidia-current,
    and all the devel packages had version numbers, it was difficult to find
    a match.

    I call it my offline brain book. Just an ASCII text file with key words followed by command or command example and a wrapper script to search
    it with any number of key word arguments.

    Since I lurk in numerous Usenet groups, I get to copy commands I wanted/needed and any I think might come in handy some time.

    Also any time I have to look up something a few times I just add it to the file.
    It is getting a bit large.

    $ wc --lines < /local/doc/unix.help
    9055

    Take urpm for example:
    $ grep urpm /local/doc/unix.help | wc --lines
    150

    Good idea. There is no nvidia-devel package for my driver version, and
    running an earlier version requires me to downgrade my driver This
    answer from nVidia-support is probably the solution, and it explains why
    there are RPMs for ATI cards:

    https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/163/~/linux---where-can-i-get-gl.h-or-glx.h-so-i-can-compile-opengl-programs%3F

    The only problem now is that the quoted paths are out of date, after
    only 18 months, so I will keep searching. I can understand now why
    Microsoft ditched OpenGL. :(

    Do you have nvidia390 or lib64glvnd-devel ?

    [jim@sorrel ~]$ urpmf glx.h |grep -v i586 |grep \/glx.h lib64xcb-devel:/usr/include/xcb/glx.h
    lib64glvnd-devel:/usr/include/GL/glx.h lib64epoxy-devel:/usr/include/epoxy/glx.h nvidia390-devel:/usr/include/nvidia390/GL/glx.h nvidia390-devel:/usr/include/nvidia390/GL/glx.h

    Cheers!
