Thank you, I added libglvnd and now it compiles. I submitted a new 
patch.

There still seems to be an issue with OpenGL, however. The 3D 
viewer does not seem to work and opening windows like the 
footprint editor can trigger a window saying it cannot use OpenGL 
so it is falling back to software rendering. I have tried changing 
compiler options and moving some dependencies between 
native-inputs and inputs, but nothing seems to fix the problem.
