| <h1>Downloading and Unpacking</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Downloading</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can download the released versions of Mesa via |
| <a href="https://mesa.freedesktop.org/archive/">HTTPS</a> |
| or |
| <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/">FTP</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Starting with the first release of 2017, Mesa's version scheme is |
| year-based. Filenames are in the form <code>mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz</code>, where |
| <code>Y</code> is the year (two digits), <code>N</code> is an incremental number |
| (starting at 0) and <code>P</code> is the patch number (0 for the first |
| release, 1 for the first patch after that). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found |
| in the same directory, and are recognisable by the |
| <code>mesa-Y.N.P-<b>rc</b>X.tar.gz</code> filename. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Unpacking</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Mesa releases are available in two formats: <code>.tar.xz</code> and <code>.tar.gz</code>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To unpack the tarball: |
| </p> |
| <pre> |
| tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.xz |
| </pre> |
| <p>or</p> |
| <pre> |
| tar xf mesa-Y.N.P.tar.gz |
| </pre> |
| |

| |
| <p> |
| Proceed to the <a href="install.html">compilation and installation |
| instructions</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Demos, GLUT, and GLU</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| A package of SGI's GLU library is available |
| <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glu/">here</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| A package of Mark Kilgard's GLUT library is available |
| <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/glut/">here</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Mesa demos collection is available |
| <a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/">here</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| In the past, GLUT, GLU and the Mesa demos were released in conjunction with |
| Mesa releases. But since GLUT, GLU and the demos change infrequently, they |
| were split off into their own git repositories: |
| |
| <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glut">GLUT</a>, |
| <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu">GLU</a> and |
| <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos">Demos</a>, |
