-<h3>1.1 Compilation</h3>
+
+<a name="prereq">
+<h3>1.1 Prerequisites for DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>
+
+<p>
+The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/">dri2proto</a> version 1.99.3 or later
+<li>Linux 2.6.28
+<li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/" target="_parent">libDRM</a>
+version 2.4.15 or later
+<li>Xorg server version 1.5 or later
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+
+<a name="autoconf">
+<h3>1.2 Building with Autoconf</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.
+
+
+
+<a name="traditional">
+<h3>1.3 Building with traditional Makefiles</h3>
+
+<p>
+The traditional Mesa build system is based on a collection of pre-defined
+system configurations.
+</p>
+<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>.
+</p>
<p>
-Mesa is built by reading Makefile stubs from the configs directory.
-There are configurations for many Unix variants and different Mesa
-options. Type <b>make</b> from the top-level directory to see a list of
-supported system configurations. Alternatively, an autoconf system can
-be used to create a Makefile stub for your system. See the <a
-href="autoconf.html">autoconf instructions</a> for more details. Mesa
-may be compiled in several ways using the predefined configurations:
+Mesa may be built in several different ways using the predefined configurations:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b><em>Stand-alone/Xlib mode</em></b> - Mesa will be compiled as
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 <b>make</b> in the top-level directory.
+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:
</p>
The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use
the DRI hardware drivers.
-<p>
-<b>Prerequisites:</b>
-</p>
-
-<ol>
-
-<li>
-<p>
-For Mesa 7.0.2 <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/">
-DRM version 2.3</a> is required.
-</p>
-<p>
-To check if you already have it, run:
-<br>
-<code>pkg-config --modversion libdrm</code>
-</p>
-<p>
-You can download and install a <a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/">
-tarball release</a> or get the code from git with:
-<br>
-<code>git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm</code>
-<br>
-Then revert to the drm-2.3.0 tag with:
-<br>
-<code>git-reset --hard drm-2.3.0</code>
-</p>
-</li>
-
-<li>
-Relatively recent
-<a href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXserver" target="_parent">
-X.org</a> release.
-Mesa depends on a number of X header and library files.
-</li>
-
-</ol>
-
<p>
Build Mesa and the DRI hardware drivers by running
and <code>linux-ppc</code> configurations which are optimized for those
architectures.
</p>
+<p>
+Make sure you have the prerequisite versions of DRM and Xserver mentioned
+above.
+</p>
</li>
+
</ul>

-<h3>1.2 The libraries</h3>
+<a name="libs">
+<h3>1.4 The libraries</h3>
<p>
When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <code>lib/</code>
If you built the DRI hardware drivers, you'll also see the DRI drivers:
