++Meson is the latest build system in mesa, it is currently able to build for +*nix systems like Linux and BSD, macOS, Haiku, and Windows. +
-The primary method to build Mesa on Unix systems is with autoconf. +The general approach is:
++ meson builddir/ + ninja -C builddir/ + sudo ninja -C builddir/ install ++ +
On windows you can also use the visual studio backend
++ meson builddir --backend=vs + cd builddir + msbuild mesa.sln /m +
