Cannot build v18.0w on Arch (unknown type name ‘GtkGLArea’)

[;)]

It does not seem to work with me. I can not build on Arch.

Nevertherless, the package gtkada 2016-1 works.

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.8.13-1-ARCH

Thanks for your time.

Configure with --with-GL=no. (You're not the first to stumble on this, perhaps we should make this the default, it could be the most convenient for the majority of people)

Why is this issue closed?

[Nicolas Setton]

@Earnestly I closed this because I'm planning to disable --with-GL by default... coming soon.

[Earnestly]

Ah, okay that makes more sense. Thanks

Hi, I have encountered exactly the same issue while installing the most recent stable release on Mageia. I would like to use OpenGL, so the solution you mentioned (--with-GL=no) is not really an option.
Is this because a dependency library is missing in my system?
