Missing packages on OPAM

[thedufer]

When I install glMLite via OPAM, I see that several of the packages are defined but not installed. They are:

• GLE
• ftgl
• png_loader
• svg_loader
• genimg_loader

The one I'm currently interested in is just png_loader, but it seems like the others should be built as well. Could these be added to the next version on OPAM?

Hi Aaron,
I'm not the maintainer of this opam package.
The opam package page for glMLite is there:
https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/glMLite/
as you can see the packager is: acieroid@awesom.eu (you can try to contact him or her)
Or if you want to use github, the issue page for opam packages is there:
https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/issues
You can also do it by yourself, it's easy and quick to do:
Just copy the opam file into glMLite sources, and update the build field like this:

build: [
  [make "core"]
  [make "vbo"]
  [make "jpeg"]
  [make "png"]
  [make "svg"]
  [make "fun"]
  [make "gle"]
  [make "ftgl"]
]

and then install with the command: opam install .
it will install the local sources with the local opam file.
(Check that -devel packages with headers for every lib is installed first.)

You can also make a pull-request in the opam-repo, it requires only 10 minutes :)

Thanks for the tips! I got that mostly working (I added a few deps to handle the missing libs, and had to update the install steps to install all of the extra stuff). One problem I ran into is that building "gle" fails due to gleDestroyGC not being defined. Is there something weird about my version of libgle? I'm on OS X, if that's relevant, and the best version info I've been able to find is:

GLE_API_VERSION=228  GLUT 3.7 release of GLE.

I can move forward without this (I don't have immediate need for GLE, so I'll leave it out for now) but it seems like it would be nice to submit a change to the opam repo that gets everything installed.

And apologies for the misunderstanding - I hadn't come across cases of a package maintainer differing from the author of the library before.
