20 Primary Mesa download site:
21 <a href=
"ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/"
22 target=
"_parent">freedesktop.org
</a> (FTP)
26 When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found
27 <a href=
"ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/beta/" target=
"_parent">here
</a>.
34 Mesa releases are available in three formats: .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, and .zip
38 To unpack .tar.gz files:
41 tar zxf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz
45 gzcat MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
49 gunzip MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar
52 To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
55 bunzip2 -c MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
61 unzip MesaLib-x.y.z.zip
68 After unpacking you'll have these files and directories (among others):
71 Makefile - top-level Makefile for most systems
72 configs/ - makefile parameter files for various systems
73 include/ - GL header (include) files
74 bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
76 src/ - source code for libraries
77 src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
78 src/gallium - sources for Gallium and Gallium drivers
79 src/glx - sources for building libGL with full GLX and DRI support

</h1>
92 A package of SGI's GLU library is available
93 <a href=
"ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/" target=
"_parent">here
</a>
97 A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available
98 <a href=
"ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/" target=
"_parent">here
</a>
102 The Mesa demos collection is available
103 <a href=
"ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/" target=
"_parent">here
</a>
107 In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with
108 Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they
109 were split off into their own git repositories:
111 <a href=
"http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut/">GLUT
</a>,
112 <a href=
"http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">GLU
</a> and
113 <a href=
"http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos/">Demos
</a>,
