After 'cvs co', "autoreconf" was issued. All was fine.

The command './configure --prefix=/usr/local/boinc' was issued.
All was fine.

Can anybody help me? What additional opengl libraries should I install to build boinc?

WBR & WBW, Vitaly

I get the same error. I can get rid of the GL errors by adding -lglut -lGL -lGLU to the /bin/sh ../libtool command. But I still get the undefined references to `boinc_init_graphics`.

Switched over to the development branch (HEAD) and now everything works fine.

Hy,

After checking the source code of upper_case.c I removed the line #define BOINC_APP_GRAPHICS as I am not interested in a graphical compliant work unit application. Even I don't get the point why this define is included in the source code and is not passed as a compiler flag or through the configure script. Nevertheless it works fine now in my case for the boinc_core_release_5_4_11. Maybe this can help someone else.
