libGLU is available, but devel package needed

Hi:

library libGLU is available in Leap 15.2 but I need the development package, to get the headers such as libGLU.h ? I am trying to build geomview which uses the motif library, but I had to gradually cobble the libraries together until the make file run crashed with a missing libGLU.h header file problem.

How can I install the missing development package, or can someone point me to the particular section in the openSuse OBS ? (googling shows problems with libGLU in the past such as Google earth pkg)

Thanks

Why do you need it?
For which package?

3 
rpm -ql glu-devel
/usr/include/GL
/usr/include/GL/glu.h
/usr/include/GL/glu_mangle.h
/usr/lib64/libGLU.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/glu.pc

I got geomview working, but took a different route:

  1. Downloaded motif 2.3.4, but missing wmllex.c library and missing yacc compiler stopped this attempt

  2. Downloaded motif 2.3.8 and completely compiled package and installed it okay

I had to install some tools along the way, flex, libtool, autogen and a2ps pkg for geomview documents.

This problem is solved.

Thanks for your comments.

Ah, so true, but I forgot to highlight “rpm provides” in the yast2 software tool, my oversight.

It might be nice to match the libGLU with ligGLU-devel so this is easy to find.

Why?
Next one is searching for GLU-devel…

Hi
Use zypper and pkgconfig…


zypper se --provides pkgconfig\(glu\)
