[gentoo-user] glew/glewmx or what?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

to compile the Mitsuba renderer I need "glewmx" (whatever this means).
Postings on the net let me believe, that "glewmx" is a part of glew,
which in turn is a gentoo package.

But I found no USE-flags telling the package to build glew with
"glewmx"...or I misunderstood the whole thing ...


Can someone please shed some wise light on my shadowed mind so
I will be able to embrace this holy "glewmx" love and peace? 
;)  <<<--- very big!!!

Thank you very much for any enlightment!
Best regards
mcc

you could add -DGLEW_MX to your CFLAGS and emerge glew with this setting.
Better way is to copy the glew ebuild to your local overlay and fix it to 
compile with this flag set.
CFLAGS.EXTRA="-DGLEW_MX"
added to pkg_setup() might do the job.

Hi Michael,

thank you for your help ! :)

Unfortunately this seems only the half of the way to go...

The installation process only install libglew...and leave libglewmx
untouched.
...

Any idea how to convince the package to install everything?

Best regards,
