Unless you link in or dlopen libglapi, or link in something that pulls it in such as libGL. The dlopen(libglapi) hack seems to be widespread: chrome: <a href="http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src/ui/ozone/platform/dri/ozone_platform_gbm.cc">http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src/ui/ozone/platform/dri/ozone_platform_gbm.cc</a> wayland: <a href="http://fossies.org/linux/weston/src/compositor-drm.c">http://fossies.org/linux/weston/src/compositor-drm.c</a> enlightenment: <a href="https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/commit/?h=devs/devilhorns/drm&id=73a7ac2ec8201123785ec17eff97364f72a474a1">https://git.enlightenment.org/core/efl.git/commit/?h=devs/devilhorns/drm&id=73a7ac2ec8201123785ec17eff97364f72a474a1</a> Now I find waffle has the same problem. Do I need to add the same hack there? <a href="https://github.com/waffle-gl/waffle/pull/21">https://github.com/waffle-gl/waffle/pull/21</a> If we must use the hack for now, wouldn't it be better in gbm_create_device, so every gbm user doesn't clutter their code with it?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
