On a RH 5.x system, you can NOT build +a libc5 executable or library. Red Hat just doesn't include the right +stuff to do it. + +Since Quake is a libc5 based application, you are in trouble. You need +libc5 libraries. + +What can you do about it? Well there's a package called gcc5 that does +MOST of the right stuff to compile with libc5. (It brings back older +header files, makes appropriate symbolic links for libraries, and sets +up the compiler to use the correct directories) You can find gcc5 here: +ftp://ecg.mit.edu/pub/linux/gcc5-1.0-1.i386.rpm + +No, this isn't quite enough. There are still a few tricks to getting +Mesa to compile as a libc5 application. First you have to make sure that +every compile uses gcc5 instead of gcc. Second, in some cases the link +line actually lists -L/usr/lib which breaks gcc5 (because it forces you +to use the glibc version of things) + +If you get all the stuff correctly compiled with gcc5 it should work. +I've run Mesa 3.0B6 and its demos in a window with my Rush on a Red Hat +5.1 system. It is a big hassle, but it can be done. I've only made Quake +segfault, but I think that's from my libRush using the wrong libc. + +Yes, mixing libc5 and glibc is a major pain. I've been working to get +all my libraries compiling correctly with this setup. Someone should +make an RPM out of it and feed changes back to Brian once they get it +all working. If no one else has done so by the time I get the rest of my +stuff straightened out, I'll try to do it myself. + + - |Daryll + + + +********************* + +David Bucciarelli ([email protected]) writes: + +I'm using the Mesa-3.0beta7 and the RedHat 5.1 and QuakeII is +working fine for me.
