%general-entities; ]> $Date$ libdrm libdrm provides a user space library for accessing the DRM, direct rendering manager, on operating systems that support the ioctl interface. libdrm is a low-level library, typically used by graphics drivers such as the Mesa DRI drivers, the X drivers, libva and similar projects. &lfs110a_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libdrm-md5sum; Download size: &libdrm-size; Estimated disk space required: &libdrm-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libdrm-time; libdrm Dependencies Recommended (for Intel KMS API support required by Mesa) Optional (for tests), (could be used to find dependencies without pkgconfig files), , , , and (to build manual pages), (required by architectures without native atomic operations), , and CUNIT (for AMDGPU tests) User Notes: Install libdrm by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \ --buildtype=release \ -Dudev=true \ -Dvalgrind=false && ninja To check the results, issue ninja test. Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dudev=true: This parameter enables support for using Udev instead of mknod. -Dvalgrind=false: This parameter disables building libdrm with valgrind support. This fixes building sysprof and other packages that use libdrm. Change this parameter to "true" if you need support for valgrind.
