I've made a simple opengl game which uses soil.h in ubuntu but in my college fedora is installed, how do install soil.h in fedora in my college pc?

I've already tried make install method in an earlier post and also tried "yum install libsoil.h-dev" both didn't work, still no SOIL/SOIL. H file or directory found error.

SOIL.h is a C header, i.e. a text file. And : A header is not a library.

The Fedora package name can be decided with # yum provides */SOIL.h

Install the package : # yum install SOIL-devel

Provides ...

/usr/include/SOIL
/usr/include/SOIL/SOIL.h
/usr/include/SOIL/image_DXT.h
/usr/include/SOIL/image_helper.h
/usr/include/SOIL/stb_image_aug.h
/usr/include/SOIL/stbi_DDS_aug.h
/usr/include/SOIL/stbi_DDS_aug_c.h
/usr/lib64/libSOIL.so

  • What does #yum provides */SOIL. h do? Could you please explain. Do I need to install package as root login? – user3697184 May 23 '18 at 13:46
  • »»What does #yum provides */SOIL. h do?««: As the command text says: Find the package name which provides */SOIL. h. .... Why are you asking about root login ? Please inform if you have the permission or have no root access. No permissions to install as root: Just unpack the package in your $HOME https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3d9QqrRhEThYByPDgWEaoxHnqWFWqfE/view?usp=sharing – Knud Larsen May 23 '18 at 13:59
  • So, I just need to rum the command "yum install SOIL-devel" with root access and my program should run fine with - lSOIL flag – user3697184 May 23 '18 at 18:45
  • Exactly. ... If any issues, please add Fedora version to your question : **1**. `$ cat /etc/redhat-release`... **2**. `$ uname -m` – Knud Larsen May 23 '18 at 21:37
  • It's still not working, shows No package SOIL-devel available, Nothing to do. The fedora version is 12 – user3697184 May 25 '18 at 06:03
  • No `SOIL-devel` for "Fedora old version year 2009" : SOIL-1.07 came with Fedora 19, not in earlier versions. Still the 2008 version `1.07` in in Fedora 28. Easy to build : BuildRequires = `libGL-devel` – Knud Larsen May 25 '18 at 07:32
  • Repeat : add Fedora version to your question → also the architecture, 32 or 64bits: `$ uname -m` – Knud Larsen May 25 '18 at 09:57
