I have just setup my Ultra Sparc 60 with Solaris 8 to compile gl programs, or so I thought. The programs dont compile...why? This is my current setup: billnic[root]:/> cd /usr/openwin/lib billnic[root]:/usr/openwin/lib> ls libGL* libGL.so libGL.so.1 libGLU.so libGLU.so.1 libGLw.so libGLw.so.1 libGLw.so.2 libGLw12.so billnic[root]:/usr/openwin/lib> billnic[root]:/usr/openwin/include/GL> ls gl.h glmacros.h glu.h glx.h glxmd.h glxproto.h glxtokens.h billnic[root]:/usr/openwin/include/GL> billnic[root]:/usr/local/sparc_solaris/glut-3.7/include/GL> ls -als total 232 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 12583 staff 512 Jul 21 1999 . 2 drwxr-xr-x 4 12583 staff 512 Jul 21 1999 .. 120 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 60468 Jul 21 1999 fgl.h 16 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 7273 Jul 21 1999 fglu.h 20 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 10152 Jul 21 1999 fglut.h 12 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 5150 Jul 21 1999 glsmap.h 42 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 20844 Jul 21 1999 glut.h 18 -r--r--r-- 1 12583 staff 8874 Jul 21 1999 tube.h billnic[root]:/usr/local/sparc_solaris/glut-3.7/include/GL> I am using tcsh, here is my .cshrc file: billnic[root]:/> more .cshrc if ($?prompt) then set prompt="%m[%n]:%/> " endif setenv ORACLE_BASE /oracle_product/app/oracle setenv ORACLE_HOME $ORACLE_BASE/product/816 setenv ORACLE_SID nic_prod setenv PATH .:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/nicapp/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/nic/tools/bin:/opt/NSCPcom:/usr/local/qt/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/lib setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt setenv MANPATH /usr/man:/usr/local/man:/nicapp/man:/usr/local/qt/man setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/qt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/sparc_solaris/glut-3.7/lib/glut export LD_LIBRARY_PATH setenv editor `which vi` set autologout=0 billnic[root]:/> source .cshrc export: Permission denied. billnic[root]:/> This is what I get when I compile a program...

It seems like you are getting a lot of unresolved externals because you do not linking to any libraries. Did not the port come with a makefile?
