A38: The original IRIX 6.3 release for the O2 workstation accidently advertised support for the dynamic video resize extension supported on SGI’s high-end InfiniteReality graphics system. This confuses GLUT into providing its dynamic video resize sub-API. This problem is fixed by patch 1979 (and its successor patches). Because patch 1979 (and its successor patches) also help O2’s OpenGL rendering performance, I strongly recommend requesting the latest O2 OpenGL patch from SGI customer support. Once the patch is installed, your build errors will be resolved.
