How to install GLEW?

[ThomasL]

I'm building with scons on Ubuntu and compile_src.bat on Windows (or rather a copy of compile_src with mingw on C:). Both builds fail because GLEW is not found. On Linux I apt-get installed glew-utils, libglew1.5, libglewmx1.5, python-pyglew, but it did not help.

you need libglew-dev if you want to build it.

Also, I don't think those bat/sh files are being maintained, the way to build makehuman is using scons.

Thanks, now it works on Linux. I still haven't gotten scons to work under Windows, though. It complains that python 2.6 C development libraries are missing (or something like that, I don't have access to Windows right now). How do I install those?

[mflerackers]

I think the dev files just come with the python installer, but in the python folder. In the include and libs folders. If you use mingw, you probably have to copy them. Most devs on windows use visual studio (it is free http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/), there you just have to add the folders to the project settings.

Does anyone know where to find libglew-dev for Fedora? I'm getting no package available (for F13).

Worst case, I guess you could download the source tarball and do a make install:

http://glew.sourceforge.net/install.html

It turns out to be glew-devel in Fedora. It's in the normal repositories, so it's just a case of yum or package manager.

I've got other build problems but I'll move them to a new thread.

I have the same problem building MakeHuman on Ubuntu 10.04:

I use:
./compile_src.sh

Terminal output:
gcc: /usr/src/glew/glew.c: No such file or directory

But I have installed:
glew-utils
libglew1.5
libglew1.5-dev
libglewmx1.5
libglewmx1.5-dev
python-pyglew

Where is the problem?

I polished the Makefile a while ago. On ubuntu, I'd recommend using that instead. Works for me. With the packages installed try:

make -f Makefile.Linux
