    <title>Installation of MesaLib</title>

    <para>If you've installed the X Window System into any prefix other than
    <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, then you'll need to adjust the
    commands below for your system.  Correct several hard coded directories 
    in the source files with the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>find . -type f -exec sed -i 's@/usr/X11R6@/usr@g' {} \;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>MesaLib</application> 
    by running the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>make linux-dri</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>bin/installmesa /usr &amp;&amp;
mkdir -v -p /usr/lib/modules/dri &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 lib/*dri* /usr/lib/modules/dri</userinput></screen>

    <para>If you've extracted the GLUT and Demos packages as well, then 
    build the test programs with the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>cd progs/xdemos &amp;&amp;
make PROGS='glxinfo glxgears'</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the demos as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>install -v -m755 glxinfo glxgears /usr/bin</userinput></screen>

    <note>
      <para>If building Xorg-7.0<!--<xref linkend="xorg7"/>-->, do not 
      remove the Mesa source tree yet, it will be required to build the 
      X server.</para>
