here went to get gcad3d running quite out of the box on forum member Pemasu's dpup Exprimos different versions.
Major fact: on dpup Exprimo, it does not need any Mesa driver being installed - nor Xorg-High.pet nor other -
Gcad3d is also told to have its own OpenGL. And dpup exprimo has already something of it already present. (many thanks to pemasu )
Here is how to:
1 - download and install the latest gCAD3D-x.xx-Linux-x86.deb debian archive from http://www.gcad3d.org/
2 - install libjpeg-turbo-1.1.1-i486.pet from here http://dokupuppylinux.co.cc/programs:li ... -turbo-111 for image rendering (see attachment)
2.1 - alternatively, also works nice (tested) with the latest libjpeg-turbo-1.2.0-i686.pet from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... c44352d1e5
thanks to forum member chrome307 !!
2.2 - IMPORTANT: skip and go to next point if you have dpup Exprimo5X3.1.10 or later, or if your puppy has Xorg version 7.4 and higher , as there the dri and glx modules are default loaded; the modules dri and glx must be loaded (xorg.conf disables them by default); Run in a console
Code: Select all
# Xorg -version
Also check it opening /war/log/Xorg.0.log and just look if those lines are present.
Code: Select all
...
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
...
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
If you don't have Xorg 7.4 or higher, or are unsure, then edit xorg.conf; to do so, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this;
before editing:
Code: Select all
...
# Disable "glx" #LOADGLX
# This loads dri module (if present). 7.4 loads it by default, have to disable... change "Disable" to "Load" if reqd...
# Disable "dri" #LOADDRI...
Code: Select all
# Load "glx" #LOADGLX
...
# Load "dri" #LOADDRI
Check it running
Code: Select all
# report-video
2.4 ( last edited) install libgtkgl2.0-1_2.b0.1-1_i386.deb from debian packages repository;
doing in a console
Code: Select all
# ldd /usr/lib/gCAD3D/binLinux32/./gCAD3D
3 - gCAD3D already runs from console, typing
Code: Select all
# /usr/lib/gCAD3D/binLinux32/./gCAD3D
5 - tested on other later distros like Racy, Wary: either some more dependencies libs are needed, either Mesa needs to be installed and running (see Xorg-High pets) - it runs in some cases (Wary and Racy), but some details like axes X, Y flags are displayed as white squares instead ...
5.1 - also earlier tested running nicely on forum member shinobar's lupq511 and Lucid Mesa has to be installed by installing the corresponding Xorg-Hiigh.pet (see Quickpet video section how to improve video).
5.2 - not tested on Exprimo earlier than 5X3.1.10
6 - read howto's and tutorial on above gCAD3D website.
Enjoy!
Cheers, Charlie
last edited: tested OK using libjpeg-turbo-1.2.0-i686.pet (application is enough)

gCAD3D runs on this rather common harware:
ps: only gCAD3D-1.80 did not need libgtkgl ...others and later do !report-video wrote: Dpup Exprimo, version 5.X.3.4.2.1 on sam 16 jun 2012
