I don't know what libGLw is, (I noticed its presence or absence only
when Fink packages showed build failures) but it used to come with
Apple's X11:
Up until Tiger, there was a static libGLw.a in /usr/X11R6/lib/, and
Leopard's X11User.pkg installed a dynamic libGLw.1.dylib instead. In
addition, in all versions there were header files like GLwDrawA.h in
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/. I also remember a discussion on this list about
missing symbols in the Leopard libGLw.dylib.
Now if you upgrade to 10.5.2, all this is gone, and I am curious about
the story behind this removal.
The 10.5.2 upgrader package runs a script named "removeOldPreLeopardX11"
that executes the following lines:
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/X11.app"rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/bin/dumpkeymap"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/include/xorg"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/lib/X11/man/man1"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/lib/libGLw.1.dylib"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/lib/libGLw.dylib"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/include/GL/GLwDrawA.h"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/include/GL/GLwDrawAP.h"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/include/GL/GLwMDrawA.h"
rm -rf "$3/usr/X11/include/GL/GLwMDrawAP.h"
Would anyone who knows why this was done care to explain?
