Glscene Ubuntu Working ?

[Carver413]

Thanks that did the trick. I'm trying to get the ODE to compile now I installed libode-dev (just guessing) but I'm still missing something.

/home/carver413/programing/GLScene_v1.1_October_2010_SVN_revision_5227/Source/PhysicsAPIs/GLSModuleLoader.pas(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit Libc used by GLSModuleLoader

There is no libc unit in FreePascal for 64-bit Linux, and not recommended to use it on 32-bit Linux. So, this is a problem with GLScene. Try to remove Libc from uses in GLSModuleLoader.pas, and add these functions after implementation:

function dlopen ( Name : PChar; Flags : longint) : Pointer; cdecl; external 'dl';
function dlclose( Lib : Pointer) : Longint; cdecl; external 'dl';
function dlsym  ( Lib : Pointer; Name : Pchar) : Pointer; cdecl; external 'dl';

Maybe it will help, but I can't guarantee this

oh, that darn libc again. i made the mistake too but mine took a week to solve. i however do not believe the cdecl to be necessary - i have yet to find a lib that needs it

thanks I'll give it a try

Somebody got it working with the latest SVN snapshot?

What errors are you having trouble with? might be that you are missing some dev libs...

Oh, and instead of doing this, then import the dl unit, or even better: the dynlibs unit

It only just dawned on me: dude, no libc? WTF? I mean, I've seen so many libs use that and all I heard was that quite a few people weren't sure whether it was dead or not... Looks like I might need to do some cat and grep to find out if I have any dependencies on it...

At a point, wasn't there 2 libcs? I recall changing LibC to some other package and seeing everything compile fine

[JSoftware]

There's the libc unit and libc C library. The libc unit is very deprecated and stems from Kylix times

[code_glitch]

Ah, then thats the one I must have recalled instead...
