| <h1 id="prereq-general">1. Prerequisites for building</h1> |
| |
| <h2>1.1 General</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> - Python is required. |
| Version 2.6.4 or later should work. |
| </li> |
| <br> |
| <li><a href="http://www.makotemplates.org/">Python Mako module</a> - |
| Python Mako module is required. Version 0.7.3 or later should work. |
| </li> |
| </br> |
| <li><a href="http://www.scons.org/">SCons</a> is required for building on |
| Windows and optional for Linux (it's an alternative to autoconf/automake.) |
| </li> |
| <br> |
| <li>lex / yacc - for building the GLSL compiler. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| On Linux systems, flex and bison are used. |
| Versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively, (or later) should work. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| On Windows with MinGW, install flex and bison with: |
| <pre>mingw-get install msys-flex msys-bison</pre> |
| For MSVC on Windows, install |
| <a href="http://winflexbison.sourceforge.net/">Win flex-bison</a>. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| <h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 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 2.6 or later |
| <li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/">libDRM</a> |
| version 2.4.33 or later |
| <li>Xorg server version 1.5 or later |
| <li>Linux 2.6.28 or later |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| If you're using a fedora distro the following command should install all |
| the needed dependencies: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| sudo yum install flex bison imake libtool xorg-x11-proto-devel libdrm-devel \ |
| gcc-c++ xorg-x11-server-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel libXdamage-devel git \ |
| expat-devel llvm-devel python-mako |
| </pre> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h1 id="autoconf">2. Building with autoconf (Linux/Unix/X11)</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The primary method to build Mesa on Unix systems is with autoconf. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The general approach is the standard: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| ./configure |
| make |
| sudo make install |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| But please read the <a href="autoconf.html">detailed autoconf instructions</a> |
| for more details. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h1 id="scons">3. Building with SCons (Windows/Linux)</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| To build Mesa with SCons on Linux or Windows do |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| scons |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| The build output will be placed in |
| build/<i>platform</i>-<i>machine</i>-<i>debug</i>/..., where <i>platform</i> is for |
| example linux or windows, <i>machine</i> is x86 or x86_64, optionally followed |
| by -debug for debug builds. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To build Mesa with SCons for Windows on Linux using the MinGW crosscompiler toolchain do |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| scons platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 libgl-gdi |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| This will create: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>build/windows-x86-debug/gallium/targets/libgl-gdi/opengl32.dll — Mesa + Gallium + softpipe (or llvmpipe), binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Put them all in the same directory to test them. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h1 id="other">4. Building for other systems</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Documentation for other environments (some may be very out of date): |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="README.VMS">README.VMS</a> - VMS |
| <li><a href="README.CYGWIN">README.CYGWIN</a> - Cygwin |
| <li><a href="README.WIN32">README.WIN32</a> - Win32 |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h1 id="libs">5. Library Information</h1> |
| |
| <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> |
| <pre> |
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 10 Mar 26 07:53 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1* |
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 19 Mar 26 07:53 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.5.060100* |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 3375861 Mar 26 07:53 libGL.so.1.5.060100* |
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 14 Mar 26 07:53 libOSMesa.so -> libOSMesa.so.6* |
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 23 Mar 26 07:53 libOSMesa.so.6 -> libOSMesa.so.6.1.060100* |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 23871 Mar 26 07:53 libOSMesa.so.6.1.060100* |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>libGL</b> is the main OpenGL library (i.e. Mesa). |
| <br> |
| <b>libOSMesa</b> is the OSMesa (Off-Screen) interface library. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you built the DRI hardware drivers, you'll also see the DRI drivers: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 16895413 Jul 21 12:11 i915_dri.so |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 16895413 Jul 21 12:11 i965_dri.so |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 11849858 Jul 21 12:12 r200_dri.so |
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 11757388 Jul 21 12:12 radeon_dri.so |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you built with Gallium support, look in lib/gallium/ for Gallium-based |
| versions of libGL and device drivers. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h1 id="pkg-config">6. Building OpenGL programs with pkg-config</h1> |
| |
| <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> |
