A screensaver for Linux and UNIX that displays the planets of the Solar System
(inc Pluto). A random planet is chosen and rotated on screen against a
starfield background. As the planet orbits the sun, it transitions from light
into darkness and a corona effect appears.

Please take the little extra effort of actually looking at doc/README.compiling, particularly the "UBUNTU" section. Not to mention, the output is a giant clue that you're missing a bunch of dependencies.

Thank you, this was great.
P.S. If you could find a solution, quite a few of us would be very pleased.

make
Try this instead
make LIBS="-lSDL -lGLU -lGL -lSDL_image"
If that compiles, continue as normal. Note, this is 'hack' but I'll get around to implementing a proper fix

just some things that i'd enjoy:
1. some kind of glow around sun, so it looks more like the real sun. that would be really great) may be simply like corona around the planet, but around the sun. actually i think corona should be moved from planet to the sun, to be more "real life" like.
2. not only corona, but also an "atmosphere" layer around planets. though i'm not sure on this - it will eat actually lots of cpu.
3. moon orbiting earth?
Also sizes of planets compared to sun are a bit off.
still very very nice thing.
i hope you'll make it even better.

The planet sizes versus the sun don't even come close to reality really. Aesthetics being the main reason, but I've tried to give a feeling of distance of each planet from the sun. Do you feel the sun is generally too large or too small?

but i think it's a bit too big compared to mercury.
and a bit bigger compared to earth.
though i may be wrong here.
