When you try to build the stable boinc server or the SVN HEAD one, you get this error:

In file included from uc2_graphics.cpp:39: ../../api/txf_util.h:35: error: ‘GLfloat’ has not been declared

The server is compiled and works perfectly well, but you get this error, and the compilation ends.

If you install the following libraries:

libssl-dev libglut3-dev glutg3-dev libglui-dev libglitz-glx1-dev libsdl1.2-dev libcurl3-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libsm-dev libice-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libx11-dev libjpeg62-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0-dev

The problem is fixed, but I understand that when you run the ./configure --disable-client, those libraries are not needed. The wiki page should be updated informing about this prerequisite.

The bug can be closed.

If OpenGL isn't found, it shouldn't try to compile uppercase graphics. Simple.

I've told at least three people to manually edit the makefile to remove uppercase completely, because they had this problem.

There is no reason to require OpenGL to install the server.

See Installation problem on the BOINC forum, and a post by Chris Sutton on ​boinc_projects, thread ​automated DB updates.

Installed all the libraries as indicated by teleyinex above. This does _not_ correct the problem.

(In [16482]) - example_app: don't build the graphics app by default.

Fixes #771
