Hi,
I'm trying to get glew to build, but for some reason it just doesn't want to work. Here's the output I get from make:

cc -shared -Wl,-soname=libGLEW.so.1.6 -o lib/libGLEW.so.1.6.0 src/glew.pic_o -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXmu -lXi -lGLU -lGL -lXext -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib/libGLEW.so.1.6.0] Error 1

I'm using Linux Mint Debian with gnome, 64 bit. I'm pretty new to linux and I'm still getting used to the build system, so I have no idea what these errors mean. Can anyone help?

It means exactly what it says. It can't find the libXmu, libXi, and libGLU libraries. You need to install them and their development packages. Use you package manager to install them. Depending on what graphics driver you're using, libGLU will most likely be provided by Mesa.

Thank you! After installing the packages glew build fine.
