User Notes: Unlike other packages, the MesaLib-&mesalib-version;.tar.bz2 archive will extract to the Mesa-&mesalib-version; directory. Install MesaLib by running the following commands: sed 's@FLAGS=\"-g@FLAGS=\"@' -i configure && patch -Np1 -i ../MesaLib-&mesalib-version;-add_xdemos-2.patch && ./configure --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --enable-shared-dricore --enable-xa \ --with-gallium-drivers="nouveau,svga,swrast" && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && mkdir -pv ${XORG_PREFIX}/share/doc/MesaLib-&mesalib-version; && cp -rv docs/* ${XORG_PREFIX}/share/doc/MesaLib-&mesalib-version; Finally, if installing to any prefix other than /usr, you should create symlinks to the GL headers in /usr/include. Execute the following command as the root user: ln -s -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/include/GL /usr/include && ln -s -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/include/EGL /usr/include && ln -s -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/include/KHR /usr/include && for HEADER in xa_{composite,context,tracker}.h do ln -s -v ${XORG_PREFIX}/include/$HEADER /usr/include done sed 's@FLAGS=\"-g@FLAGS=\"@' -i configure: by default, Mesa builds with debugging symbols. Remove the -g switch from both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS with this command. --enable-shared-dricore: link DRI modules with shared core DRI routines. --enable-xa: enables building of the XA X Acceleration API (Required for VMware 3D Driver). --with-gallium-drivers="...": controls building of gallium drivers. Available drivers are: i915, nouveau, r300, r600, swrast and svga. Note that r300 and r600 require to be installed.
