[sldev] [VWR] Compiling WindLight on MacOS

[Alissa Sabre]

Has anybody tried compiling WindLight viewer on MacOS?

I grabbed and compiled the FL-1.18.6.76116 source on MacOS X
(10.4.11).  The first try failed because glh/glh_linear.h and
glh/glh_convenience.h were not found.  So, I went to the Nick's site
and downloaded http://www.blueflash.cc/users/nicholaz/~libs/glh.zip

Then, I got an error message that says GL/gl.h : No such file or
directory in glh_convenience.h.  Well, on MacOS (or xcode I should
say), gl.h is under OpenGL directory but GL, so it must be included as
<OpenGL/gl.h>.  I edited the file as follows:

#if LL_DARWIN
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#else
#include <GL/gl.h>
#endif

The problem here is, that the include <GL/gl.h> is in
glh_convenience.h, and the comment in glh_convenience.h says "glh is
platform independent".  Also, the file has NVIDIA copyright.  I have a
feeling that I should not put SL specific LL_DARWIN or any other
platform-specific macro/#if's there.

What should I do?  What Lindens are doing?

Any idea?

# I hope Soft makes source QA on WindLight next time...
