How do you bind opengl and glut using waf on osx?

Question

I am trying to create a C ++ opengl program in osx using waf and cannot make it work.

Usually, when I compile an opengl program, I use it in the terminal:

g++ main.cpp -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL 

I am using the following wscript:

 top = '.' out = 'build' def options(opt): opt.load('compiler_cxx') def configure(conf): conf.load('compiler_cxx') # conf.env.append_value('LINKFLAGS', '-framework GLUT -framework OpenGL') def build(bld): bld.program( source = 'main.cpp', target = 'a', linkflags = ["-framework GLUT", "-framework OpenGL"], ) 

But I get an error when creating it:

 $ waf configure Setting top to : /Users/tt/Documents/class/labs/Lab 3 fixed/src Setting out to : /Users/tt/Documents/class/labs/Lab 3 fixed/src/build Checking for 'g++' (c++ compiler) : /usr/bin/g++ 'configure' finished successfully (0.040s) $ waf Waf: Entering directory `/Users/tt/Documents/class/labs/Lab 3 fixed/src/build' [2/2] cxxprogram: build/main.cpp.1.o -> build/a Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_glViewport", referenced from: resize(int, int)in main.cpp.1.o "_glMatrixMode", referenced from: resize(int, int)in main.cpp.1.o Camera::show() in main.cpp.1.o "_glLoadIdentity", referenced from: resize(int, int)in main.cpp.1.o Camera::show() in main.cpp.1.o "_gluPerspective", referenced from: resize(int, int)in main.cpp.1.o "_glutPostRedisplay", referenced from: resize(int, int)in main.cpp.1.o idle() in main.cpp.1.o "_gluLookAt", referenced from: Camera::show() in main.cpp.1.o "_glRotatef", referenced from: Camera::show() in main.cpp.1.o "_glTranslatef", referenced from: Camera::show() in main.cpp.1.o "_glEnableClientState", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glUseProgram", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glGetAttribLocation", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glEnableVertexAttribArray", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glBindBuffer", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o Mesh::Mesh(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glVertexPointer", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glVertexAttribPointer", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glNormalPointer", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glDrawElements", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glDisableClientState", referenced from: Mesh::render() in main.cpp.1.o "_glEnable", referenced from: display() in main.cpp.1.o "_glClearColor", referenced from: display() in main.cpp.1.o "_glClear", referenced from: display() in main.cpp.1.o "_glutSwapBuffers", referenced from: display() in main.cpp.1.o "_glCreateProgram", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glCreateShader", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glShaderSource", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glCompileShader", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glGetShaderiv", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glGetShaderInfoLog", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glAttachShader", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glLinkProgram", referenced from: setupGLSL(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glGenBuffers", referenced from: Mesh::Mesh(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glBufferData", referenced from: Mesh::Mesh(char*)in main.cpp.1.o "_glutInit", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutInitDisplayMode", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutInitWindowSize", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutCreateWindow", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutDisplayFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutIdleFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutReshapeFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutKeyboardFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutKeyboardUpFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutSpecialFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutMouseFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutMotionFunc", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o "_glutMainLoop", referenced from: _main in main.cpp.1.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Waf: Leaving directory `/Users/n7down/Documents/class/spring 2013/5542 (Real Time Rendering)/labs/Lab 3 fixed/src/build' Build failed -> task in 'a' failed (exit status 1): {task 4537197904: cxxprogram main.cpp.1.o -> a} ['/usr/bin/g++', '-framework GLUT', '-framework OpenGL', 'main.cpp.1.o', '-o', '/Users/tt/Documents/class/labs/Lab 3 fixed/src/build/a'] 

Is there any way I can fix / do this?

Answer 1

Well, your ploblem seems like a direct use of LINKFLAGS with an argument like "-framework X". This will be misinterpreted by python. Use the framework parameter provided by WAF directly:

 top = '.' out = 'build' def options(opt): opt.load('compiler_cxx') def configure(conf): conf.load('compiler_cxx') def build(bld): bld.program( source = 'main.cpp', target = 'a', framework = ["GLUT", "OpenGL"], )
