| <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 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 |
| a software renderer using Xlib to do all rendering. |
| The libGL.so library will be a self-contained rendering library that will |
| allow you to run OpenGL/GLX applications on any X server (regardless of |
| 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 <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> |
| <pre> |
| make linux-x86 |
| </pre> |
| <p>This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries</p> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><b><em>DRI/accelerated</em></b> - The DRI hardware drivers for |
| accelerated OpenGL rendering (for ATI, Intel, Matrox, etc) will be built. |
| The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use |
| the DRI hardware drivers. |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| Build Mesa and the DRI hardware drivers by running |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| make linux-dri |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| There are also <code>linux-dri-x86</code>, <code>linux-dri-x86-64</code>, |
| 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> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| Later, if you want to rebuild for a different configuration run |
| <code>make realclean</code> before rebuilding. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <a name="libs"> |
| <h3>1.4 The libraries</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <code>lib/</code> |
| (or <code>lib64/</code>) directory. |
| You'll see a set of library files similar to this: |
| </p> |

| <a name="demos"> |
| <h3>1.5 Running the demos</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you downloaded/unpacked the MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz archive or |
| obtained Mesa from CVS, the <b>progs/</b> directory will contain a |
| bunch of demonstration programs. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Before running a demo, you'll probably have to set two environment variables |
| to indicate where the libraries are located. For example: |
| <p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <b>cd lib/</b> |
| <br> |
| <b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b> |
| <br> |
| <b>export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using DRI drivers) |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p> |
| Next, change to the Mesa/demos/ directory: |
| </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <b>cd ../progs/demos</b> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p> |
| Run a demo such as gears: |
| </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <b>./gears</b> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p> |
| If this doesn't work, try the <b>Mesa/progs/xdemos/glxinfo</b> program |
| and see that it prints the expected Mesa version number. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you're using Linux or a similar OS, verify that the demo program is |
| being linked with the proper library files: |
| </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <b>ldd gears</b> |
| </blockquote> |
| |

| <a name="install"> |
| <H3>1.6 Installing the header and library files</H3> |
| |
| <p> |
| The standard location for the OpenGL header files on Unix-type systems is |
| in <code>/usr/include/GL/</code>. |
| The standard location for the libraries is <code>/usr/lib/</code>. |
| For more information see, the |
| <a href="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/" target="_parent"> |
| Linux/OpenGL ABI specification</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you'd like Mesa to co-exist with another implementation of OpenGL that's |
| already installed, you'll have to choose different directories, like |
| <code>/usr/local/include/GL/</code> and <code>/usr/local/lib/</code>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To install Mesa's headers and libraries, run <code>make install</code>. |
| But first, check the Mesa/configs/default file and examine the values |
| of the <b>INSTALL_DIR</b> and <b>DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR</b> variables. |
| Change them if needed, then run <code>make install</code>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The variable |
| <b>DESTDIR</b> may also be used to install the contents to a temporary |
| staging directory. |
| This can be useful for package management. |
| For example: <code>make install DESTDIR=/somepath/</code> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Note: at runtime you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable |
| (on Linux at least) to switch |
| between the Mesa libraries and other vendor's libraries whenever you want. |
| This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <a name="pkg-config"> |
| <H3>1.7 Building OpenGL programs with pkg-config</H3> |
| |
| <p> |
| Running <code>make install</code> will install package configuration files |
| for the pkg-config utility. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| When compiling your OpenGL application you can use pkg-config to determine |
| the proper compiler and linker flags. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| For example, compiling and linking a GLUT application can be done with: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glut` mydemo.c -o mydemo |
| </pre> |
