Hi,

When I try to compile Irrlicht, it comes up with this compiler error:

simon@simon-laptop:~/projects/irrlicht/irrlicht-1.7.1/source/Irrlicht$ make
<cut>
COpenGLExtensionHandler.h:1800: error: ‘GLenum’ was not declared in this scope

Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
GCC version: 4.4.1

You need the OpenGL headers and libraries. Or disable OpenGL (which only leaves the SW renderers, maybe not the desired option).

Yay! It compiled fine now.
Thanks for the quick reply.

If anyone finds this by searching for the error, the packages I installed(on Ubuntu) are:
libgl1-mesa-dev
x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev
