Fix an error with output redirection if /bin/sh is not the Bash shell on your system: sed -i 's%>& /dev/null%>/dev/null%' src/mesa/drivers/dri/Makefile.template Install MesaLib by running the following commands: find . -type f -exec sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@g" {} \; && sed -i 's@lib/modules@lib/X11/modules@' \ src/glx/x11/dri_glx.c \ src/mesa/drivers/dri/Makefile.template && make OPT_FLAGS="-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing" linux-dri-x86 If you downloaded and extracted the Demos package, build the programs with the following commands: sed -i 's@-l$(GLUT_LIB)@@g' configs/default && make -C progs/xdemos PROGS='glxinfo glxgears' This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: bin/installmesa $XORG_PREFIX && install -v -m755 -d $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules/dri && install -v -m755 lib/*dri* $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules/dri If you built the demo programs, install them using the following command as the root user: install -v -m755 progs/xdemos/glx{info,gears} $XORG_PREFIX/bin 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 $XORG_PREFIX/include/GL /usr/include Do not remove the Mesa source tree yet, it will be required to build the . find ... sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@$XORG_PREFIX@" ...: This command corrects several hard coded references to the X11R6 default installation path. sed -i 's@lib/modules@lib/X11/modules@' ...: This command corrects a hard coded reference to the module directory. make OPT_FLAGS=... linux-dri-x86: A bug where OpenGL applications are shifted to the left by 50% can be worked around by adding -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler flags. Also, the linux-dri-x86 target is specified to use a few other helpful flags in addition to the defaults. See the other targets in the configs directory if your architecture is not x86. sed -i 's@-l$(GLUT_LIB)@@g' configs/default: Disables linking against the GLUT libraries for the demo programs, omit this command if you downloaded and extracted the GLUT tarball. make ... PROGS='glxinfo glxgears': Only builds the glxinfo and glxgears programs. bin/installmesa: Mesa uses a custom installation script as opposed to the normal install make target. install -v -m755 lib/*dri* $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules/dri: installs the DRI modules. Installed Programs (optional) Installed Libraries Installed Directory glxgears and glxinfo libGL.{so,a}, libGLU.{so,a}, libGLw.{so,a}, *_dri.so and optionally, libglut.{so,a} $XORG_PREFIX/lib/modules/dri Short Descriptions glxgears is a GL demo useful for troubleshooting graphics problems. glxgears glxinfo is a diagnostic program that displays information about the graphics hardware and installed GL libraries. glxinfo
