<h1 id="prereq-general">1. Prerequisites for building</h1>
<h2>1.1 General</h2>
+
+<p>
+Build system.
+</p>
+
<ul>
-<li>lex / yacc - for building the GLSL compiler.
-On Linux systems, flex and bison are used.
-Versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively, (or later) should work.
-<br>
-<br>
-On Windows with MinGW, install flex and bison with:
-<pre>mingw-get install msys-flex msys-bison</pre>
+<li><a href="https://mesonbuild.com">meson</a> is recommended when building on *nix platforms.
+<li>Autoconf is another option when building on *nix platforms.
+<li><a href="http://www.scons.org/">SCons</a> is required for building on
+Windows and optional for Linux (it's an alternative to autoconf/automake or meson.)
</li>
-<li>python - Python is needed for building the Gallium components.
-Version 2.6.4 or later should work.
-<br>
-<br>
-To build OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 you'll also need
-<a href="http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/python/libxml2-python-2.7.7.win32-py2.7.exe">libxml2-python</a>.
+<li>Android Build system when building as native Android component. Autoconf
+is used when when building ARC.
</li>
</ul>
-<h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 For DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>
+<p>
+The following compilers are known to work, if you know of others or you're
+willing to maintain support for other compiler get in touch.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>GCC 4.2.0 or later (some parts of Mesa may require later versions)
+<li>clang - exact minimum requirement is currently unknown.
+<li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later is required, for building on Windows.
+</ul>
+
<p>
-The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa:
+Third party/extra tools.
+<br>
+<strong>Note</strong>: These should not be required, when building from a release tarball. If
+you think you've spotted a bug let developers know by filing a
+<a href="bugs.html">bug report</a>.
</p>
+
<ul>
-<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/"
-target="_parent">dri2proto</a> version 2.6 or later
-<li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/" target="_parent">libDRM</a>
-version 2.4.33 or later
-<li>Xorg server version 1.5 or later
-<li>Linux 2.6.28 or later
+<li><a href="https://www.python.org/">Python</a> - Python is required.
+When building with scons 2.7 is required.
+When building with meson 3.5 or newer is required.
+When building with autotools 2.7, or 3.5 or later are required.
+</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.makotemplates.org/">Python Mako module</a> -
+Python Mako module is required. Version 0.8.0 or later should work.
+</li>
+<li>lex / yacc - for building the Mesa IR and GLSL compiler.
+<div>
+On Linux systems, flex and bison versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively,
+(or later) should work.
+On Windows with MinGW, install flex and bison with:
+<pre>mingw-get install msys-flex msys-bison</pre>
+For MSVC on Windows, install
+<a href="http://winflexbison.sourceforge.net/">Win flex-bison</a>.
+</div>
</ul>
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: Some versions can be buggy (eg. flex 2.6.2) so do try others if things fail.</p>
+
+
+<h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 Requirements</h3>
+
+<p>
+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>
-If you're using a fedora distro the following command should install all
-the needed dependencies:
+Here are some common ways to retrieve most/all of the dependencies based on
+the packaging tool used by your distro.
</p>
+
<pre>
- sudo yum install flex bison imake libtool xorg-x11-proto-devel libdrm-devel \
- gcc-c++ xorg-x11-server-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel libXdamage-devel git \
- expat-devel llvm-devel
+ 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>
+
+<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 general approach is:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ meson builddir/
+ ninja -C builddir/
+ sudo ninja -C builddir/ install
+</pre>
+<p>
+Please read the <a href="meson.html">detailed meson instructions</a>
+for more information
+</p>
-<H1 id="autoconf">2. Building with autoconf (Linux/Unix/X11)</H1>
+<h1 id="autoconf">3. Building with autoconf (Linux/Unix/X11)</h1>
<p>
-The primary method to build Mesa on Unix systems is with autoconf.
+Although meson is recommended, another supported way to build on *nix systems
+is with autoconf.
</p>
<p>
-<H1 id="scons">3. Building with SCons (Windows/Linux)</H1>
+<h1 id="scons">4. Building with SCons (Windows/Linux)</h1>
<p>
To build Mesa with SCons on Linux or Windows do
To build Mesa with SCons for Windows on Linux using the MinGW crosscompiler toolchain do
</p>
<pre>
- scons platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 mesagdi libgl-gdi
+ scons platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 libgl-gdi
</pre>
<p>
This will create:
</p>
<ul>
-<li>build/windows-x86-debug/mesa/drivers/windows/gdi/opengl32.dll — Mesa + swrast, binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll
-<li>build/windows-x86-debug/gallium/targets/libgl-gdi/opengl32.dll — Mesa + Gallium + softpipe, binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll
+<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.
+
+Additional information is available in <a href="README.WIN32">README.WIN32</a>.

+<h1 id="android">5. Building with AOSP (Android)</h1>
<p>
-Documentation for other environments (some may be very out of date):
+Currently one can build Mesa for Android as part of the AOSP project, yet
+your experience might vary.

+<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.
