1. Unix/X11 Compilation and Installation

+

1.1 Compilation

+

-Mesa uses a rather conventional Makefile system. -A GNU autoconf/automake system used to be included, but was discarded -in Mesa 5.1 because: +Mesa may be compiled in several different ways:

+
  • Stand-alone/Xlib mode - Mesa is compiled as +a software renderer using Xlib to do all rendering. +libGL.so is a self-contained rendering library.

    -If someone strongly feels that Mesa should have a autoconf/automake -system and wants to contribute one and maintain it, we'll consider -adding it again. +To compile stand-alone Mesa type make 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:

    +
    +    make linux-x86
+
    +

    This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries

    +
    • +
  • DRI/accelerated - The DRI hardware drivers (for ATI, +Intel, Matrox, etc) are built. +libGL.so implements the GLX extension and dynamically loads the DRI drivers.

    -In Mesa 6.1 we modified the conventional Makefile system. -Instead of specifying all the various system configurations in the -Make-config file, there's a directory named configs/ which -has an individual file for each configuration. -One of the configs gets copied to configs/current, which -is then included by all Makefiles. +To build the DRI drivers you'll first need to have the DRM (Direct +Rendering Manager) kernel drivers and header files. +They're available from the DRI project.

    1.1 Compilation

    -Note: if you've obtained Mesa through CVS, do this first: -

    +You can get them from CVS by doing: 
    -    cd Mesa
-    chmod a+x bin/mklib
+cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pds.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login
+(hit enter when prompted for a password)
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pdx.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm
    -

    -Just type make 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: +Make note of the directory in which the drm files are placed. +

    +

    +See the +DRI Building Instructions for the steps to build the DRM modules. +

    +

    +Next, in the Mesa-x.y.z/configs/default file, set the +DRM_SOURCE_PATH variable to indicate where the DRM files +are located. +

    +

    +Now build Mesa and the DRI drivers by running 

    -    make linux-x86
+make linux-dri

    -If you want to rebuild for a different configuration run +There are also linux-dri-x86, linux-dri-x86-64, +and linux-ppc configurations, optimized for those architectures. +

    + +

    +Finally, you'll need a DRI-enabled X server from + +X.org or XFree86. +Visit those projects' home pages for more information. +

    + +
    • + + + +

    +Later, if you want to rebuild for a different configuration run make realclean before rebuilding.
