2008dec post:

I've been developing a computer simulation in C using glut and opengl for linux
 and windows. I've gotten to the point where I would like to add glui for ui stuff.

My program compiled on linux and windows using gcc and mingw32-gcc
using a command like

gcc -o aberration -Wall aberration.c -mwindows glut32.lib -lopengl32 -lglu32

before I added glui.

I've added glui and been able to compile on linux using

g++ -o midname -Wall midname.c -lX11 -lXi -lXmu -lglui -lglut -lGl -lGLU

using this set up
glut.h: /usr/include/GL/glut.h
libglut.a: /usr/lib/libglut.a
glui.h: /usr/include/GL/glui.h
libglui.a: /usr/lib/libglui.a

2004, on Mandrake compiling simple GLUTbased pgm:

gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/local/lib -lglut -lGL -lGLU -o simpleGlut simpleGlut.c

...

I also added /usr/local/lib (where libglut.a libglut.la libglut.so libglut.so.3
libglut.so.3.8.0 were) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH.

...

His hello-world test program:

#include <GL/glut.h>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  glutInit( &argc, argv );
  glutInitDisplayMode( GLUT_RGB );

  glutInitWindowPosition( 0, 0 );
  glutInitWindowSize( 300, 300 );
  int myWindow = glutCreateWindow( "hello world!" );

  glutMainLoop();
  return 0;
}

Typical link sequences, if you're using FLTK, are:

    on Linux: -lfltk -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXext -lm 
    on Sun: -lfltk -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lXext -lsocket -lm 
    on SGI: -lfltk -lGLU -lGL -lX11 -lm 

If you're linking with the pic_ and tiff_ routines, then you'll need
 -lpicio -ltiff as well.

On my computer to compile a c program using said library I would need to
 do something like -

gcc -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/gtkglext-1.0
 -I/usr/lib64/gtkglext-1.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0
 -I/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0
 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include
 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12
 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -Wl,--export-dynamic -latk-1.0
 -lgdkglext-x11-1.0 -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lgdk-x11-2.0
 -lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo
 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -o hello bob.c

for example, now that is a pain in the ... so you can store it in your
 build file or you can just use pkg-config if you have it installed.


gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gdkglext-1.0` -I/usr/include/atk-1.0/
 -latk-1.0 -o hello bob.c

------------------
ALSO:

Try using pkg-config. Compiling gtk and friends usually requires a whole
 list of libraries too numerous to remember and too tedious to type
 by hand every time you compile.

Something like this should work:

gcc yourprogram.c -o yourprogram `pkg-config gtkglext-1.0 --cflags --libs`


If you're curious as to what the output of pkg-config actually looks like,
 you can type

pkg-config gtkglext-1.0 --libs

at the command prompt to get a list of the required libraries. These just
 get appended as arguments to the gcc command.

--------------
ALSO:

I don't know if you've resolved the segfault issue with gtk_gl_init(),
 but you might try calling gtk_init() before calling gtk_gl_init().

My first attempt at a program that only calls gtk_gl_init() and closes
 gave me a segfault as well. Then I found a nice bit of sample code here:

http://www.cairographics.org/OpenGL/ (The "Beef it up a little" example
 actually uses GtkGlExt)

Here gtk_init() is called before gtk_gl_init(). Adding that to my tiny
 test program fixed the segfault. It may in your code too.

My sample code (compile using pkg-config as mentioned before):


#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gtk/gtkgl.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
gtk_gl_init(&argc, &argv);

return 0;
}

DO NOT INSTALL THE GLUI FROM UBUNTU REPOSITORY!

THEY ARE OUT-OF-DATE!

Download the newest version of GLUI from SourceForge.Net.

1. Copy the glui.h to /usr/include/GL/

2. Copy the libglui.a to /usr/lib/

If you already installed from the ubuntu repository, remove all the files.

1. Remove the glui.h from /usr/include/ (caused by the apt-get installing
 glui.h outside the GL directory)

2. Remove all the glui libraries (*.so installed by apt-get) from /usr/lib/

Only keep one glui library, libglui.a, in this directory!
