To build Mesa/OSMesa with 16-bit color channels:
<pre>
- cd Mesa-5.x/src
- make -f Makefile.X11 clean
- make -f Makefile.OSMesa16 linux-osmesa16
+ make realclean
+ make linux-osmesa16
</pre>
For 32-bit channels:
<pre>
- cd Mesa-5.x/src
- make -f Makefile.X11 clean
- make -f Makefile.OSMesa16 linux-osmesa32
+ make realclean
+ make linux-osmesa32
</pre>
<p>
</p>

-If you're not using Linux, you can easily edit Make-config and add
-an appropriate configuration.

-<p>
-The Mesa/tests/osdemo16.c file (available via CVS) demonstrates how
-to use this feature.
+If you need to compile on a non-Linux platform, copy Mesa/configs/linux-osmesa16
+to a new config file and edit it as needed. Then, add the new config name to
+the top-level Makefile. Send a patch to the Mesa developers too, if you're
+inclined.
