[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47886] Do not link against libraries without OpenGL

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #47886 (project octave):

They are related but not intrinsically. Gl2ps is used to turn OpenGL into
Postscript, whether the figure is on-screen or off-screen. OSMesa is used as
an alternative GL buffer mechanism to render OpenGL off-screen, and then gl2ps
is used to print it to Postscript.

If you never use the print() or saveas() functions to print a figure to a
file, you don't need gl2ps. If you only print() plots when they are visible on
the screen with a working video card and OpenGL stack, then you don't need
OSMesa at all.
