Are you sure about this dependency? I don't see any reference to libXi
in the libfreeglut source code? However, I do see a reference to
libXxf86vm:

  SET(PC_LIBS_PRIVATE "-lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lGL -lm")

There seems to be provisions for using OpenGLES and not only full
OpenGL:

# OpenGL ES support
OPTION(FREEGLUT_GLES "Use OpenGL ES (requires EGL)" OFF)

Also, have you test static/shared build ? There are some options to
control this:

OPTION(FREEGLUT_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build FreeGLUT shared library." ON)
OPTION(FREEGLUT_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS "Build FreeGLUT static library." ON)

But it's true you depend on BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7, so a pure static lib
build is not possible. But what about BR2_STATIC_SHARED_LIBS vs.
BR2_SHARED_LIBS ?

Thanks!
