33The autoconf generated configure script can be used to guess your
34platform and change various options for building Mesa. To use the
35configure script, type:
36</p>
37
38<pre>
39 ./configure
40</pre>
41
42<p>
43To see a short description of all the options, type <code>./configure
44--help</code>. If you are using a development snapshot and the configure
Dan Nicholson460d25d2008-03-07 12:04:17 -0800[diff] [blame]45script does not exist, type <code>./autogen.sh</code> to generate it
46first. If you know the options you want to pass to
47<code>configure</code>, you can pass them to <code>autogen.sh</code>. It
48will run <code>configure</code> with these options after it is
49generated. Once you have run <code>configure</code> and set the options
50to your preference, type:
Dan Nicholson4c5a2b32007-12-23 16:38:18 -0800[diff] [blame]51</p>
52
53<pre>
54 make
55</pre>
56
57<p>
58This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries depending on the
59options you have chosen. Later, if you want to rebuild for a different
60configuration run <code>make realclean</code> before rebuilding.

64Some of the generic autoconf options are used with Mesa:

76only used to derive the directory for the libraries. The default is

84library staging area in the source tree. For instance, if the option
85<code>--libdir=/usr/local/lib64</code> is used, the libraries will be
86created in a <code>lib64</code> directory at the top of the Mesa source
