Cannot compile Dolphin on Linux - Qaazavaca Qaanic - 01-30-2014

I'm using a LMDE 201303/Windows dual-boot and cannot compile Dolphin.
I'm using the Nvidia proprietary drivers with a GTX 660, and I get an X11 error. (OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY)
Cmake output: (Show Spoiler)
Find libGL.so*: (Show Spoiler)
"which libGL.so" returns nothing.

For compilation, you also need the development packages. iirc it was something like: libgl1-mesa-dev

If you've already installed all of the packages listed in the compilation instructions, it may be caused by LMDE. I remember once having to make a symbolic link to libGL to get it to compile in Mint. If you're using LMDE to get the Mate desktop, you can easily install Mate in Debian Wheezy by following the instructions at http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1506. It worked for me in Wheezy with no trouble, and I'm using Nvidia too.

@degasus:
libgl1-mesa-dev is installed.
I think the nvidia driver does something. What file is being looked for where, so I can make the proper symlink?

@artantaaa:
I think LMDE is slightly easier to use than Debian. I'm using Cinnamon right now, but I'll switch to MATE if neccesary. (used both before) How easy is KDE to use? Gnome Minus-3?

Try this command:
Code:
locate libGL.so.
I can't tell you which one to link to, but here's what my system has:
/etc/alternatives/glx--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu
/etc/alternatives/nvidia--libGL.so.1-x86_64-linux-gnu/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/current/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/current/libGL.so.304.88

I agree with you about LMDE being easier to install, but it's based on testing and requires more of the end user at times. I decided to go with stable Debian the day a little old lady called me to ask whether she should keep the current version or install the package maintainer's version of some CUPS configuration file. I think you can install Cinnamon in stable as well if you prefer it, but if you do it by adding a Mint repository, you're no longer stable. My system with Mate is almost identical to LMDE with Mate, but I did have to manually install a lot of packages that are usually preinstalled for you. Here's the list of all of them if it will help you:

I like the current version of KDE more than Gnome3, but I don't really care for either of them. I don't like the whole smartphone style, the desktop is no longer a desktop thing. If I want things to be pretty, I just install Docky and Compiz along with Mate, but maybe I'm just resistant to change.

Fixed: "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so"
