bug#69922: arcan-sdl does not build

[Skyler Ferris via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Hello,

While reviewing https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69866, I noticed that 
arcan-sdl is failing. I'm recording some notes from looking at the CI 
pages here.

The package started failing in March of 2023 
(https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=arcan-sdl%20spec:master&border-high-id=635295). 
Around that time it was failing due to dependencies. For example, in 
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/596808/details the (aarch64) vlc 
dependency failed while in https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/596793/details 
(i686) the tesseract-ocr dependency failed. Occassionally there are 
failures in the build of  arcan-sdl itself, for example 
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/1533757/details. In that case there is a 
compiler error.  Build failures become more common than depedency 
failures around July of 2023 
(https://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=arcan-sdl%20spec:master&border-high-id=2028788). 
Starting in December of 2023, the build started failing due to the error 
"Could NOT find OpenGL (missing: OPENGL_openglLIBRARY)" 
(https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/2818926/details). This is the error that 
is showing up in the build log today.

Skyler

I meant to reply to this issue, but accidentally opened a new issue with
the patch fixing it: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69923
Should we close this one (69922)?

Cheers,
David

That's OK, since you have a patch sending it to the patches mailing list made sense (this one is on the bugs mailing list). I'll close this now since you fixed this. Thanks for digging into it!
