(...) Mesa 4.0 contains the library OSMesa, but it seems to need some other library to work. I couldn't deduce what it is from the compiler error message. I have - as a temporary fix - changed the Linux installation instructions, so off-screen (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hmm, I'm using 4.0, but it used to compile and link with the older versions. (I just forgot to set up the projection matrix for the offscreen stuff so it didn't work yet in ldglite 0.9.2). At some point (4.0?) the Mesa folks pulled OSMesa out (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ok I built it and it works. I guess my notes in makefile.linux were incoherent. To build for Mesa versions older than 4.0 you only need to comment out the OFFSCREEN_LIBS line. I guess the Mesa folks broke OSMesa out into a separate library at (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yuck. I'm not allocating anything really HUGE on the stack. Plus I can't think of a good way to check in C if a stack allocation fails. On the other hand, the offscreen image buffer IS huge, but that's allocated on the heap, and I do check to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
