I'm pretty sure I've run it without the X libraries around, but I don't
think I ever linked it without them. So you might be able to build it
on another BSD box with X and MESA and then run it on a headless box
with just the OSMesa lib installed, assuming otherwise similar hardware.
With a little work you should even be able to build it on a headless
box using a stub version of glut. The MESA Offscreen library (OSMesa)
doesn't use X and should build without it. When ldglite runs in
in offscreen mode it only makes OSMesa calls and bypasses even the glut
library, so I think a stub would work there. If I were trying to build
it on a headless box, I'd see about building OSMesa first. Then I'd
get the glut header and see if I could remove any references to GLX.
Then I'd try to build ldglite. Hopefully it would get to the linker
stage and fail on the missing glut functions. At this point I'd create
a stub glut.c with empty procedures for the missing (but unused) glut
functions and then try to link it in.
That sounds pretty easy, right? :^)
