Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Starting today (I think), I'm getting a bunch of build errors during linking for "undefined reference to [some GL function]" in rust code while linking libxul:

}

I can work around this with:
 sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev
...but I'm not sure whether intended to require that as a new dependency or not.  


I'm using Ubuntu 17.04 prerelease (which is released next month). Not sure if this impacts earlier versions of Ubuntu, though I'll bet it does.

My mozconfig just has:
  ac_add_options --enable-debug --disable-optimize
...and no other enable/disable stuff.

Oh, looks like this was reported earlier today as bug 1349967. Duping.
