[ale] Mesa on Voodoo

[Prasanna Subash]

All,
    I have Suse 6.2 running on PIII 500 w/ Voodoo3 3000 .
 
    rpm -aq | grep mesa
    showed me mesa-3.0-45 and mesasoft-3.0-5.

    I downloaded a simple program using glut from www.linuxfocus.org and
tried to compile it. The link line had
    LIBRARIES= -lglut -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU -lXmi -lXext -lXi  -lX11 -lm
    
    The linker came out with errors like 
 
    Undefined reference to mglColor3f 
    Undefined reference to mglClear
    Undefined reference to mglColor2f
           
    I noticed that these where defines in gl_mangle.h and glu_mangle.h.
    I also tried 
 
    nm <variouslibs.a> | grep mglColor3f 
 
    and did not find the corresponding library.
 
    Reading the documentation ( README.3dfx ) I found that should look at
/usr/local/glide/.
    I found only one file there and it was an executable -> test3dfx.
    
    I tried running it and it came out with a segmentation error.

    Should I try glide ?
