gtkglext comes with a makefile to compile the example code and it works fine. I am able to compile and run all of the examples fine, which tells me I have everything set up ok.

BUT, I cannot figure out how to manually compile. I made a small change (just press space on an empty line) in one of the example source files (button.c) so I could run make again and send the output to a file named my.test.

Here is the contents of that file:

I have been trying to figure out how this is compiling the sources but nothing I try seems to work!

And one more thing, gtk-config is still pointing my my old version and I'm not sure how to fix this. What I want to do is have two gtk-config files (one named gtk-config, and one named gtk-config.old), but I'm confused as to how to make the nescesary changes! Please please help!

edit: added source tags

edit 2: added jpeg of output

gcc gears.c -o bleh `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0

Which gives me this error:

So, I found out where gtkgl.h was hiding and add this to the compile options:

-I/usr/local/lib/gtkglext-1.0/include/

And now I get this oh-so-much-nicer printout:

/tmp/cc6qG1kh.o(.text+0x54): In function `gear':
: undefined reference to `glShadeModel'
/tmp/cc6qG1kh.o(.text+0x71): In function `gear':

etc etc etc...

I tried adding -lglut but it didnt help! I am extremely lost with how to get this work... I'm trying hard to figure it out and I really need help. I know whatever the makefile is doing is what I need to be doing, however the makefile is complex and I am having difficulty understanding exactly what is going on.

Here is a link to the makefile. Perhaps someone could at least help me make sense of it?

oh, and I would say *bump*, but there's never that many people on this forum!
