+
+
+<h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 Requirements</h3>
<p>
-Mesa may be <a href="autoconf.html">built using autoconf</a>.
-This should work well on most GNU-based systems.
-If that fails the traditional Mesa build system is available.
+The requirements depends on the features selected at configure stage.
+Check/install the respective -devel package as prompted by the configure error
+message.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Here are some common ways to retrieve most/all of the dependencies based on
+the packaging tool used by your distro.
+</p>
+<pre>
+ zypper source-install --build-deps-only Mesa # openSUSE/SLED/SLES
+ yum-builddep mesa # yum Fedora, OpenSuse(?)
+ dnf builddep mesa # dnf Fedora
+ apt-get build-dep mesa # Debian and derivatives
+ ... # others
+</pre>
+<h1 id="meson">2. Building with meson</h1>
-<a name="traditional">
-<h3>1.4 Building with traditional Makefiles</h3>
+<p>
+Meson is the latest build system in mesa, it is currently able to build for
+*nix systems like Linux and BSD, and will be able to build for windows as well.
+</p>
<p>
-The traditional Mesa build system is based on a collection of pre-defined
-system configurations.
+The general approach is:
</p>
+<pre>
+ meson builddir/
+ ninja -C builddir/
+ sudo ninja -C builddir/ install
+</pre>
<p>
-To see the list of configurations, just type <code>make</code>.
-Then choose a configuration from the list and type <code>make</code>
-<em>configname</em>.
+Please read the <a href="meson.html">detailed meson instructions</a>
+for more information
</p>
+<h1 id="autoconf">3. Building with autoconf (Linux/Unix/X11)</h1>
+
<p>
-Mesa may be built in several different ways using the predefined configurations:
+Although meson is recommended, another supported way to build on *nix systems
+is with autoconf.
</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b><em>Stand-alone/Xlib mode</em></b> - Mesa will be compiled as
-a software renderer using Xlib to do all rendering.
-The libGL.so library will be a self-contained rendering library that will
-allow you to run OpenGL/GLX applications on any X server (regardless of
-whether it supports the GLX X server extension).
-You will <em>not</em> be able to use hardware 3D acceleration.
+
<p>
-To compile stand-alone Mesa type <code>make</code> in the top-level directory.
-You'll see a list of supported system configurations.
-Choose one from the list (such as linux-x86), and type:
+The general approach is the standard:
</p>
<pre>
- make linux-x86
+ ./configure
+ make
+ sudo make install
</pre>
-<p>This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries</p>
-</li>
+<p>
+But please read the <a href="autoconf.html">detailed autoconf instructions</a>
+for more details.
+</p>
-<li><b><em>DRI/accelerated</em></b> - The DRI hardware drivers for
-accelerated OpenGL rendering (for ATI, Intel, Matrox, etc) will be built.
-The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use
-the DRI hardware drivers.
+<h1 id="scons">4. Building with SCons (Windows/Linux)</h1>
+
<p>
-Build Mesa and the DRI hardware drivers by running
+To build Mesa with SCons on Linux or Windows do
</p>
<pre>
- make linux-dri
+ scons
</pre>
<p>
-There are also <code>linux-dri-x86</code>, <code>linux-dri-x86-64</code>,
-and <code>linux-ppc</code> configurations which are optimized for those
-architectures.
+The build output will be placed in
+build/<i>platform</i>-<i>machine</i>-<i>debug</i>/..., where <i>platform</i> is for
+example linux or windows, <i>machine</i> is x86 or x86_64, optionally followed
+by -debug for debug builds.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To build Mesa with SCons for Windows on Linux using the MinGW crosscompiler toolchain do
</p>
+<pre>
+ scons platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 libgl-gdi
+</pre>
<p>
-Make sure you have the prerequisite versions of DRM and Xserver mentioned
-above.
+This will create:
</p>
+<ul>
+<li>build/windows-x86-debug/gallium/targets/libgl-gdi/opengl32.dll — Mesa + Gallium + softpipe (or llvmpipe), binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll
+</ul>
+<p>
+Put them all in the same directory to test them.
-</li>
+Additional information is available in <a href="README.WIN32">README.WIN32</a>.
+
+</p>
-</ul>
+<h1 id="android">5. Building with AOSP (Android)</h1>
+
<p>
-Later, if you want to rebuild for a different configuration run
-<code>make realclean</code> before rebuilding.
+Currently one can build Mesa for Android as part of the AOSP project, yet
+your experience might vary.
</p>
+<p>
+In order to achieve that one should update their local manifest to point to the
+upstream repo, set the appropriate BOARD_GPU_DRIVERS and build the
+libGLES_mesa library.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+FINISHME: Improve on the instructions add references to Rob H repos/Jenkins,
+Android-x86 and/or other resources.

-<H3>1.6 Installing the header and library files</H3>
-
-<p>
-The standard location for the OpenGL header files on Unix-type systems is
-in <code>/usr/include/GL/</code>.
-The standard location for the libraries is <code>/usr/lib/</code>.
-For more information see, the
-<a href="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/" target="_parent">
-Linux/OpenGL ABI specification</a>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you'd like Mesa to co-exist with another implementation of OpenGL that's
-already installed, you'll have to choose different directories, like
-<code>/usr/local/include/GL/</code> and <code>/usr/local/lib/</code>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-To install Mesa's headers and libraries, run <code>make install</code>.
-But first, check the Mesa/configs/default file and examine the values
-of the <b>INSTALL_DIR</b> and <b>DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR</b> variables.
-Change them if needed, then run <code>make install</code>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The variable
-<b>DESTDIR</b> may also be used to install the contents to a temporary
-staging directory.
-This can be useful for package management.
-For example: <code>make install DESTDIR=/somepath/</code>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Note: at runtime you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
-(on Linux at least) to switch
-between the Mesa libraries and other vendor's libraries whenever you want.
-This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations.
