 <h3>1.1 Prerequisites for DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>

 <p>
 The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa 7.3:
 </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 2.4.3 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:

 <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>

 <p>
 You should see something like this:
 </p>
 <pre>

 Retrace your steps if this doesn't look right.

 <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>

 <a name="windows">
 <H2>2. Windows Compilation and Installation</H1>

 <p>
 Please see the <a href="#scons">instructions on building with SCons</a>.
 Alternatively see <a href="README.WIN32">README.WIN32</a> file.
 </p>


 <a name="scons">
 <H2>3. Building with SCons</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>
 The sample programs are built seperately. To build them do
 <pre>
     scons -C progs
 </pre>
 And the build output will be placed in progs/build/...
 </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 statetrackers=mesa drivers=softpipe,trace winsys=gdi
     scons -C progs platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 -k
 </pre>
 <p>
 This will create:
 </p>
 <ul>
 <li>build/windows-x86-debug/gallium/winsys/gdi/opengl32.dll &mdash; Mesa + Gallium + softpipe, binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll

	<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>

	<p>
	You should see something like this:
	</p>

	<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>

	<a name="scons">
	<H2>3. Building with SCons</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>
	The sample programs are built seperately. To build them do
	<pre>
	scons -C progs
	</pre>
	And the build output will be placed in progs/build/...
	</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 statetrackers=mesa drivers=softpipe,trace winsys=gdi
	scons -C progs platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 -k
	</pre>
	<p>
	This will create:
	</p>
	<ul>
	<li>build/windows-x86-debug/gallium/winsys/gdi/opengl32.dll — Mesa + Gallium + softpipe, binary compatible with Windows's opengl32.dll
