MesaLib Demos can not find GL/gl.h

[Marcel van den Boer]

Compilation of MesaLib fails with:

make[1]: Entering directory `/sources/Mesa-7.9/xdemos'
gcc -L../lib -lGL -o glxinfo glxinfo.c
glxinfo.c:41:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [glxinfo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/Mesa-7.9/xdemos'
make: *** [default] Error 1

A similar error occurs when not applying the same solution to glxgears:

make[1]: Entering directory `/sources/Mesa-7.9/xdemos'
gcc -I../include -L../lib -lGL -o glxinfo glxinfo.c
gcc -L../lib -lGL -o glxgears glxgears.c
glxgears.c:36:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [glxgears] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/Mesa-7.9/xdemos'
make: *** [default] Error 1

The solution: Add -I$(TOP)/include to the list of arguments for both glxinfo and glxgears in xdemos/Makefile.

My system: LFS-6.8, BLFS svn-20110326 (revision 8876)

Unless I am the only one who has this problem, the attached patch can be used to replace the one currently used in BLFS to solve this.
