Dylan Baker5d11a822019-09-30 11:02:09 -0700114*nix systems like Linux and BSD, macOS, Haiku, and will be able to build for

142To build Mesa with SCons on Linux or Windows do
143</p>
144<pre>
145 scons
146</pre>
147<p>
148The build output will be placed in

151by -debug for debug builds.

155To build Mesa with SCons for Windows on Linux using the MinGW crosscompiler toolchain do

157<pre>

183In order to achieve that one should update their local manifest to point to the
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +0000184upstream repo, set the appropriate BOARD_GPU_DRIVERS and build the

233<p>
Eric Engestrom46d68832019-04-24 13:16:57 +0100234Running <code>ninja install</code> will install package configuration files
Brian5bba58c2007-09-12 10:11:49 -0600235for the pkg-config utility.
236</p>
237
238<p>
239When compiling your OpenGL application you can use pkg-config to determine
240the proper compiler and linker flags.
241</p>
242
243<p>
244For example, compiling and linking a GLUT application can be done with:
245</p>
246<pre>
247 gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glut` mydemo.c -o mydemo
