| 8 | |
| 9 | <p> |
| 10 | Mesa can be downloaded from the |
| 11 | <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent"> |
| 12 | SourceForge download area</A>. |
| 13 | </p> |
| 14 | |
| 15 | <p> |
| 16 | Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code |
| 17 | and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not |
| 18 | interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file. |
| 19 | </p> |
| 20 | |
| 21 | <p> |
| 22 | Mesa is available in at least three archive formats: |
| 23 | </p> |
| 24 | |
| 25 | <pre> |
| 26 | 1. GNU zip/tar |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz |
| 29 | Unpack with: |
| 30 | gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf - |
| 31 | gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf - |
| 32 | or |
| 33 | gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar |
| 34 | gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar |
| 35 | or |
| 36 | tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz |
| 37 | tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz |
| 38 | |
| 39 | If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | 2. Unix compressed/tar |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z |
| 44 | Unpack with: |
| 45 | zcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf - |
| 46 | zcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf - |
| 47 | |
| 48 | 3. ZIP format |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Download MesaLib-X.Y.zip and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.zip |
| 51 | Unpack with: |
| 52 | unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip |
| 53 | unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip |
| 54 | </pre> |
| 55 | |
| 56 | <p> |
| 57 | After unpacking you'll have these directories (and more): |
| 58 | </p> |

| 62 | configure - the GNU autoconf script |
| 63 | bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc |
| 64 | include/ - GL header (include) files |
| 65 | lib/ - client libraries, created during installation |
| 66 | src/ - source code for the main libGL library |
| 67 | si-glu/ - SGI Sample Implementation of libGLU |
| 68 | src-glu/ - old source code for libGLU (obsolete) |
| 69 | docs/ - documentation |
| 70 | util/ - handly utility functions |
| 71 | widgets-mesa/ - Mesa widgets for Xt/Motif (obsolete) |
| 72 | widgets-sgi/ - SGI OpenGL widgets for Xt/Motif |
| 73 | |
| 74 | and if you downloaded and unpacked the demos: |
| 75 | |
| 76 | src-glut/ - source code for GLUT toolkit |
| 77 | demos/ - GLUT demos |
| 78 | xdemos/ - X11 and SVGA demo programs |
| 79 | samples/ - sample OpenGL programs from SGI |
| 80 | book/ - example programs from the OpenGL Programming Guide, |
| 81 | converted to GLUT by Mark Kilgard, from GLUT distribution. |
| 82 | images/ - image files |
| 83 | |
| 84 | </pre> |
| 85 | |
