Compiling blitzmax on linux: cannot find -lGLU

Hello,

I've been able to fix all of the missing dso files, but when I compile my code, I get this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

What does this mean, and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance.

It usually means you're missing a system library that BlitzMax needs.

There's a handy script from dawlane to deal with this issue: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=101454

(depending on your OS you might want a different thread - there are several in that forum)
