Looking for 64-bit glx.h

Post by Doug Laidlaw
A new version of Kodi has just been released, codenamed Nexus. Since it
is so new, I have to compile it from source. I have done this before,
but it isn't straightforward. Only gnucash could be worse. Searching
tells me that glx.h is not a normal header file, and it should be in my
proprietary driver "devel" package, but I can't find it anywhere. My
driver is nVidia. The forums only mention ATI cards.

I suggest running urpmf glx.h

Thanks. I knew there was such a command. I need a cheat sheet.

And, as predicted, it was in the nvidia "devel" package. I had tried
searching with rpmdrake, but it returned all the ***-glx.h files. which
weren't accepted. When the driver package was called nvidia-current,
and all the devel packages had version numbers, it was difficult to find
a match.

I call it my offline brain book. Just an ASCII text file with key words
followed by command or command example and a wrapper script to search
it with any number of key word arguments.

Since I lurk in numerous Usenet groups, I get to copy commands I wanted/needed
and any I think might come in handy some time.

Also any time I have to look up something a few times I just add it to the file.
It is getting a bit large.

$ wc --lines < /local/doc/unix.help
9055

Take urpm for example:
$ grep urpm /local/doc/unix.help | wc --lines
150

Good idea. There is no nvidia-devel package for my driver version, and
running an earlier version requires me to downgrade my driver This
answer from nVidia-support is probably the solution, and it explains why
there are RPMs for ATI cards:

The only problem now is that the quoted paths are out of date, after
only 18 months, so I will keep searching. I can understand now why
Microsoft ditched OpenGL. :(

Do you have nvidia390 or lib64glvnd-devel ?

[***@sorrel ~]$ urpmf glx.h |grep -v i586 |grep \/glx.h
lib64xcb-devel:/usr/include/xcb/glx.h
lib64glvnd-devel:/usr/include/GL/glx.h
lib64epoxy-devel:/usr/include/epoxy/glx.h
nvidia390-devel:/usr/include/nvidia390/GL/glx.h
nvidia390-devel:/usr/include/nvidia390/GL/glx.h

Cheers!
