libdrm 2.4.39

Available at ​http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/ Breaks Mesa 8.0. Wait for Mesa 8.1 before upgrading.

As I need to rebuild my X-Installation, and the current BLFS book is broken, I found the following:

As of libdrm-2.4.34, some of the nouveau includes are no longer installed which are needed by Mesa, although Mesa-8.0.4 requires libdrm >= 2.4.34.

I installed libdrm-2.4.38 and the latest Mesa:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
./autogen.sh --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX   \
            --enable-texture-float  \
            --enable-gles1          \
            --enable-gles2          \
            --enable-xa             \
            --enable-shared-glapi   \
            --enable-glx-tls        \
            --with-gallium-drivers="nouveau,r300,r600,svga,swrast"

Note that  --enable-shared-dricore is an unrecognized option in this version of Mesa and I did not apply the sed nor did I apply the patches. Make and make check after make install run without any error (I do realize that the tests ran only in a text terminal).

Seems that glxinfo and glxgears are not installed. DRI still does not seem to work on my system, I'll continue to investigate.

Replying to bambi:

I don't think so. I've built 8.0.4 with 2.4.33 from the book. It is not broken and Mesa instructions clearly state that you shouldn't use any later version if you are building MesaLib as per BLFS instructions.

I installed libdrm-2.4.38 and the latest Mesa:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
./autogen.sh --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX   \
            --enable-texture-float  \
            --enable-gles1          \
            --enable-gles2          \
            --enable-xa             \
            --enable-shared-glapi   \
            --enable-glx-tls        \
            --with-gallium-drivers="nouveau,r300,r600,svga,swrast"

Note that  --enable-shared-dricore is an unrecognized option in this version of Mesa and I did not apply the sed nor did I apply the patches. Make and make check after make install run without any error (I do realize that the tests ran only in a text terminal).

Because you didn't apply any patch, which I doubt will work with Mesa git version, s ince it has been migrating to autotools.

Hm, I deleted libdrm and mesa and downloaded the tarballs again. Now, everything compiles as it should, as per BLFS instructions. I have no idea why mesa complained about libdrm during my first attempt.

Sorry for any confusion I might have caused.
