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

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