[ruby-opengl-devel] Recent issues compiling / running ruby-opengl

[Daniel Aquino]

I had to change STR2CSTR in ext/glut/glut.c to StringValuePtr since
STR2CSTR is deprecated after ruby 1.8.

Also there appears to be some type of problem with freeglut lately
complaining about undefined reference to glutBitmap8By13.

Since I don't even use glut in my program I simply commented out
everything to do with glut in lib/opengl.rb

Basically did the following will get you working again:

gem fetch ruby-opengl
mkdir ruby-opengl
cd ruby-opengl
tar -xvf ../ruby-opengl-0.60.1.gem
gunzip metadata.gz
tar -xvzf data.tar.gz
rm data.tar.gz
sed -i 's/STR2CSTR/StringValuePtr/g' ext/glut/glut.c
sed -i 's/0\.60\.1/&.2/g' Rakefile
# apply the changes below to lib/opengl.rb
rake clean
rake gem
gem install pkg/ruby-opengl-0.60.1.2
