Re: [Bug-gnubg] GL build on a non-GL system

Hi Jon,

what Russ suggests isn't to remove the dependency, but to allow a
clean fallback to the 2D version if  gtk_gl_init fails. This can be
done by replacing the call with gtk_gl_init_check. However, the
current version code doesn't allow this because it expects the 3d code
to be working even though 2d display is chosen. (Commenting out the
gtk_gl_init call simulates the situation).

This is relevant for linux users because they might not have 3d
working correctly on their native display or might run on a remote
display not supporting GLX.

Christian.
