Hi All,

I just tried to build 64-bit VMs in build.linux64x64 on CentOS 6.5, a system I've been building such VMs on for a long time now. The configure step produced a config.h which specifies

#define HAVE_GL_GL_H 1
#define USE_X11_GLX 1

but -lGL was not added to the X_LIBS= line in the generated vm-display-X11/Makefile

Anyone know why this is or how to fix it? It's frustrating not to be able to build out of the box on linux :-(

best, Eliot

Sorry this doesn't help right now (and I have a side question so I'll start a new thread)

and maybe its something changed recently in our build,

but the nix packaging system I recently tuned in on would seem to solve some of these problem.

IIUC, you can rock up anywhere, and replicate the *exact* same build environment on *any* linux machine. Good for setting up partners and new contributors.
@Eliot, would this be something worthwhile for me to look into?

@Luke, how would you rate the feasibility of a binary built on nix

being packaged for other linux distributions?
