Brian Paul5f37abf2003-09-05 14:47:07 +0000[diff] [blame]23Mesa uses a rather conventional Makefile system.
24A GNU autoconf/automake system used to be included, but was discarded
25in Mesa 5.1 because:

36adding it again.

64
65<p>
66When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <b>lib/</b> directory.
67You'll see a set of library files similar to this:
68</p>
69<pre>
70lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 10 Sep 4 17:55 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1*
71lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 19 Sep 4 17:55 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.4.050100*

83<b>libGL</b> is the main OpenGL library (i.e. Mesa).
84<br>
85<b>libGLU</b> is the OpenGL Utility library.
86<br>
87<b>libglut</b> is the GLUT library.

91<h3>1.3 Running the demos</h3>
92
93<p>
94If you downloaded/unpacked the MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz archive or
95obtained Mesa from CVS, the <b>progs/</b> directory will contain a
96bunch of demonstration programs.
97</p>
98
99<p>
100Before running a demo, you may have to set an environment variable
101(such as <b>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</b> on Linux) to indicate where the
102libraries are located. For example:
103<p>
104<blockquote>
105<b>cd</b> into the Mesa <b>lib/</b> directory.
106<br>
107<b>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${cwd}</b> (if using csh or tcsh shell)
108<br>
109or,
110<br>
111<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using bash or sh shell)
112</blockquote>
113
114<p>
115Next, change to the Mesa/demos/ directory:
116</p>
117<blockquote>
118<b>cd ../progs/demos</b>
119</blockquote>
120
121<p>
122Run a demo such as gears:
123</p>
124<blockquote>
125<b>./gears</b>
126</blockquote>
127
128<p>
129If this doesn't work, try the <b>Mesa/progs/xdemos/glxinfo</b> program
130and see that it prints the expected Mesa version number.
131</p>
132
133<p>
134If you're using Linux or a similar OS, verify that the demo program is
135being linked with the proper library files:
136</p>
137<blockquote>
138<b>ldd gears</b>
139</blockquote>
140
141<p>
142You should see something like this:

169<H3>1.4 Installing the header and library files</H3>
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]170
171<p>
172The standard location for the OpenGL header files on Unix-type systems is
173in <code>/usr/include/GL/</code>.
174The standard location for the libraries is <code>/usr/lib/</code>.
175For more information see, the
176<a href="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/" target="_parent">
177Linux/OpenGL ABI specification</a>.
178</p>
179
180<p>
181If you'd like Mesa to co-exist with another implementation of OpenGL that's
182already installed, you'll have to choose different directories, like
183<code>/usr/local/include/GL/</code> and <code>/usr/local/lib/</code>.
184</p>
185
186<p>
187To install the Mesa headers, do this:
Brian Paul5f37abf2003-09-05 14:47:07 +0000[diff] [blame]188<blockquote>
189<b>cp -r include/GL /usr/include</b>
190</blockquote>
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]191
192<p>
193To install the Mesa libraries, do this:
194</p>
Brian Paul5f37abf2003-09-05 14:47:07 +0000[diff] [blame]195<blockquote>
196<b>cp -pd lib/* /usr/lib</b>
197<br>
198(The -pd options preserve symbolic links)
199</blockquote>
Brian Paul0b27ace2003-03-08 17:38:57 +0000[diff] [blame]200
201<p>
Brian Paul5f37abf2003-09-05 14:47:07 +0000[diff] [blame]202If you install the libraries in a non-standard location you can use
203LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Linux) to switch between the Mesa libs and another
204vendor libs whenever you want.
205This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations.
