During the ./configure part of the mhgui compile I receive the following error.

* Abort!
* You need support for GLU in mhgui!


What am i doing wrong?

Wow. No replies. Even from the devs?

I would really love to use this software but I cannot believe how long this post has been ignored.
107 views and no one has made a comment.

I would be more expecting of this behavior were it posted in the General catagory or any forum supposedly supported by Microsoft or some such Big Name but to have this happen here in a forum I was informed cared a great deal about its software and its users is disheartening at best.


Very very disappointed user here.

Because you sent me a personal message titled "Ignored User Becoming Disgruntled. ", I'm forced to reply.

Actually I'm working 6 hours/day (over my normal 8 hours of "real work") on *new* (from scratch) MakeHuman, python based, extensible etc etc, and
I compile it under (mainly) ubuntu and (then) windows.

On the contrary, the version 0.9.1rc was developed mainly under windows (by C++ coders), and then ported by maintainers (again, C++ coders) in linux.
So 0.9.1rc (differently from actual one we are re-developing), has various dependencies and require a complex step by step compilation, and I've compiled it only in windows, so, the only reason (in my case) I don't reply you, is ...I can't.

You should be replied by Debian users, so a pm to me is perfectly useless.

Regards,

Manuel

Seems to me you're missing "GLU" in mhgui. :)

GLU is provided by "glut" or "freeglut". Install either and recompile from start. You might have to get the "-dev" packages for those and for opengl too.

I am having the same problem I have tried every available version of glu I could find so far and it has exited out every time.
