<H2>1. Unix/X11 Compilation and Installation</H1>
-<h3>1.1 Compilation</h3>
+<h3>1.1 Prerequisites for DRI and Hardware Acceleration</h3>
+
+<p>
+To build Mesa 7.1 with DRI-based hardware acceleration you must first have
+the <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/" target="_parent">DRM version 2.3.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You should also be using the Xorg server version 1.4 or 1.5.
+</p>
+
+
+
+<h3>1.2 Autoconf Compilation</h3>
+
+<p>
+Mesa may be <a href="autoconf.html">built using autoconf</a>.
+This should work well on most GNU-based systems.
+When that fails, the traditional Mesa build system is available.
+
+
+
+<h3>1.3 Traditional Compilation</h3>
+
+<p>
+The traditional Mesa build system is based on a collection of pre-defined
+system configurations.
+</p>
<p>
-Mesa may be compiled in several different ways:
+To see the list of configurations, type <b>make</b> alone.
+Then choose a configuration from the list and type <b>make configname</b>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Mesa may be built in several different ways using the predefined configurations:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b><em>Stand-alone/Xlib mode</em></b> - Mesa will be compiled as
The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use
the DRI hardware drivers.
-<p>
-<b>Prerequisites:</b>
-</p>
-
-<ol>
-
-<li>
-<p>
-DRM kernel modules and header files from the
-<a href="http://dri.sf.net/" target="_parent">DRI</a> project.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you don't already have the DRM file, you can get the sources from
-CVS by doing:
-<pre>
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm
-</pre>
-<p>
-See the <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building" target="_parent">
-DRI Building Instructions</a> for the steps to build the DRM modules. Mesa
-6.5 requires at least libdrm 2.0.1 or greater.
-</p>
-<p>
-You can verify that the DRM files have been properly installed by
-running <code>pkg-config --modversion libdrm</code>
-
-</li>
-
-<li>
-Recent /usr/include/GL/glxproto.h file.
-<p>You'll need this if you get any errors about _GLXvop_BindTexImageEXT
-being undefined.
-</p>
-<p>
-Download/install the
-<a href="http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/proto/glproto.git">glproto</a>
-module from X.org git, or grab the
-<A href="http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/*checkout*/xorg/proto/GL/glxproto.h?rev=1.9&content-type=text%2Fplain">glxproto.h file</a> and put it in the
-Mesa/include/GL/ directory.
-</p>
-
-</li>
-
-<li>DRI-enabled X server.
-<p>Visit
-<a href="http://www.xfree86.org" target="_parent">XFree86</a>
-or
-<a href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXserver" target="_parent">
-X.org</a>
-for more information.
-</p>
-</li>
-
-</ol>
-
<p>
Build Mesa and the DRI hardware drivers by running
and <code>linux-ppc</code> configurations which are optimized for those
architectures.
</p>
+<p>
+Make sure you have the prerequisite versions of DRM and Xserver mentioned
+above.
+</p>
</li>
+
</ul>
</p>
-<h3>1.2 The libraries</h3>
+<h3>1.4 The libraries</h3>
<p>
When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <code>lib/</code>
If you built the DRI hardware drivers, you'll also see the DRI drivers:

If you downloaded/unpacked the MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz archive or

<p>
-Before running a demo, you may have to set an environment variable
-(such as <b>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</b> on Linux) to indicate where the
-libraries are located. For example:
+Before running a demo, you'll probably have to set two environment variables
+to indicate where the libraries are located. For example:
<p>
<blockquote>
-<b>cd</b> into the Mesa <b>lib/</b> directory.
+<b>cd lib/</b>
<br>
-<b>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${cwd}</b> (if using csh or tcsh shell)
+<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b>
<br>
-or,
-<br>
-<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using bash or sh shell)
+<b>export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using DRI drivers)

+
+<p>
+Running <code>make install</code> will install package configuration files
+for the pkg-config utility.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When compiling your OpenGL application you can use pkg-config to determine
+the proper compiler and linker flags.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, compiling and linking a GLUT application can be done with:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glut` mydemo.c -o mydemo
