Compiling issue with Opensuse Leap 15.3

[dvolkmer]

Hi,

when trying to compile GDIS with Opensuse Leap 15.3 I obtain the following error message:

Use of uninitialized value $ARGV[0] in string eq at ./install line 21.
Must specify package names on the command line
Use of uninitialized value $ARGV[0] in string eq at ./install line 54.

Any tip how to resolve this problem ?

Kind regards, Dirk

Hello, and sorry for the late answer.

I actually had similar trouble when installing GDIS on an Opensuse LEAP 15.1 distribution for a workshop some times ago.
You need to modify the file makefile.linux in the src directory:
change the line:

LDFLAGS = -lm

into

LDFLAGS = -lGLU -lm

then it should work.

To my knowledge, Opensuse is the only Linux distribution that requires such a change.

If it helps, I had libGLU1, libglut3, freeglut-devel, and glu-devel packages installed at that time, thought I do not know which one(s) is(are) necessary.

Best,
