<H1>Compilation and Installation for Unix/X11</H1> |

<p> |

If you're not using a variant of Unix with X11, see the |

|
|

There are two methods for building Mesa on Unix/X11 systems: |

|
<dl> |
|
|
|
<dt><a href="#new">NEW-STYLE</a><dt> |
|
|
|
<dd> |
|
|
|
Basically, type "./configure" followed by "make" |
|
|
|
This <em>should</em> work on most Unix-like operating systems. |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, autoconf/automake seems to seldom work reliably on non-Linux |
|
|
|
systems. For that reason, the old-style make system is still supported |
|
|
|
(and is the preferred method of the Mesa developers). |
|

<br> |
|
|
|
<dt><a href="#old">OLD-STYLE</a><dt> |
|
|
|
<dd> |
|
|
|
Simply type <code>make</code> and you'll see a list of supported |
|
|
|
system configurations. Pick one and type <code>make</code> <em>config</em>. |
|
|
|

<B>NOTE</b>: The GLUT library and demonstrations programs are in the |
|
|

MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz file. If you don't have GLUT or you want to |
|
|
|
run some demos, download the MesaDemos package too. |

In either case, building Mesa entails the following: |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Mesa uses a rather conventional Makefile system. |
|
|
|
A GNU autoconf/automake system used to be included, but was discarded |
|
|
|
in Mesa 5.1 because: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<ul> |
|
|
|
<li>Compiling libGL, the OpenGL-replacement library. |
|
|
|
<li>Compiling libGLU, the OpenGL Utility library. |
|
|
|
<li>Compiling libglut, the GLUT library (if you downloaded the Mesa demos |
|
|
|
package) |
|
|
|
<li>Compiling the demonstration programs in the directories: |
|
|
|
<code>demos, xdemos, samples</code> and <code>book</code> |
|
|
|
(if you downloaded the Mesa demos package.) |
|
|
|
<li>It seldom worked on IRIX, Solaris, AIX, etc. |
|
|
|
<li>It was very compilicated |
|
|
|
<li>Nobody maintained it |
|
|
|
<li>libtool was just too weird |

|
<b> 0.</b> If you've downloaded Mesa via CVS there will not be a "configure" |
|
|
|
script. You'll have to run the "bootstrap" script first. This script |
|
|
|
may not work on any OS other than Linux. You'll need these programs |
|
|
|
to run the bootstrap script: |
|
|
|
If someone strongly feels that Mesa should have a autoconf/automake |
|
|
|
system and wants to contribute one and maintain it, we'll consider |
|
|
|
adding it again. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
autoconf 2.50 |
|

|
libtool 1.4 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
<b>1.</b> Run the configure script |
|
|
|
</p> |
|

<h3>1.1 Compilation</h3> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
For Linux, it is recommended that you use: |
|
|
|
If you've obtained Mesa through CVS, do this to first: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr |
|
|
|
cd Mesa-newtree |
|
|
|
cp Makefile.X11 Makefile |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So that the headers and libs are located according to the Linux/OpenGL |
|
|
|
standard spec at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/ |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
For Red Hat 8.0, Mandrake 9.1 and other Linux distros, you may have to use |
|
|
|
the following: |
|
|
|
Now, just type <b>make</b>. |
|
|
|
You'll see a list of supported system configurations. |
|
|
|
Choose one from the list (such as linux-x86), and type: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
export LDFLAGS="-lstdc++" ; ./configure --prefix=/usr |
|
|
|
or |
|
|
|
setenv LDFLAGS -lstdc++ ; ./configure --prefix=/usr |
|
|
|
make linux-x86 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
This works around a problem when building the GLU library. It needs to |
|
|
|
be linked with the C++ runtime library, but libtool (for some reason) |
|
|
|
doesn't do this. |
|
|
|
That's it. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
Possible options are: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--prefix=DIR |
|
|
|
The toplevel directory of the hierachy in which Mesa |
|
|
|
will be installed (DIR/include,DIR/lib etc.). |
|
|
|
The default is "/usr/local". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--sysconfdir=DIR |
|
|
|
The directory where Mesa configuration files |
|
|
|
will be stored. The default is "$prefix/etc". |
|
|
|
You may want to overwrite the default with --sysconfdir=/etc. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-static |
|
|
|
Enable building of static libraries. |
|
|
|
Static libraries are NOT built by default. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-shared |
|
|
|
Disable building of shared libraries. |
|
|
|
Shared libraries are built by default. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--with-pic |
|
|
|
--without-pic |
|
|
|
In normal operation, libtool will build shared libraries from |
|
|
|
PIC objects and static archives from non-PIC objects, except where one |
|
|
|
or the other is not provided by the target host. By specifying |
|
|
|
--with-pic you are asking libtool to build static archives from |
|
|
|
PIC objects, and similarly by specifying --without-pic you are asking |
|
|
|
libtool to build shared libraries from non-PIC objects. |
|
|
|
libtool will only honour this flag where it will produce a |
|
|
|
working library, otherwise it reverts to the default. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

<h3>1.2 The libraries</h3> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
<b>2.</b> To build the Mesa libraries run: |
|
|
|
When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <b>lib/</b> directory. |
|
|
|
You'll see a set of library files similar to this: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
make |
|
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian users 10 Sep 4 17:55 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1* |
|
|
|

|
|
|
-rwxr-xr-x 1 brian users 13940317 Sep 4 17:55 libGL.so.1.4.050100* |

|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
<p>(on some systems you may need to run <code>gmake</code> or |
|
|
|
<code>gnumake</code> instead) |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
When finished, libGL.so will be in src/.libs/ and libGLU.so will be in |
|
|
|
si-glu/.libs/, etc. |
|
|
|
<b>libGL</b> is the main OpenGL library (i.e. Mesa). |
|
|
|
<br> |
|
|
|
<b>libGLU</b> is the OpenGL Utility library. |
|
|
|
<br> |
|
|
|
<b>libglut</b> is the GLUT library. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.3 Running the demos</h3> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Optionally, you can strip the libraries using |
|
|
|
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> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
make strip |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Now make sure that you have the permissions to install Mesa in the |
|
|
|
specified directories, for example, by becoming super user ("su") |
|
|
|
Then run: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
make install |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
Before running a demo, you may have to set an environment variable |
|
|
|
(such as <b>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</b> on Linux) to indicate where the |
|
|
|
libraries are located. For example: |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Mesa is now installed. |
|
|
|
Please don't move the installed files but rerun all installation |
|
|
|
steps if you want to use other directories. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<blockquote> |
|
|
|
<b>cd</b> into the Mesa <b>lib/</b> directory. |
|
|
|
<br> |
|
|
|
<b>setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${cwd}</b> (if using csh or tcsh shell) |
|
|
|
<br> |
|
|
|
or, |
|
|
|
<br> |
|
|
|
<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using bash or sh shell) |
|
|
|
</blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
<b>3.</b>To test whether Mesa works properly you might want to run the |
|
|
|
Mesa demos: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
make check |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Builds all demos. |
|
|
|
Next, change to the Mesa/demos/ directory: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
make exec |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
<blockquote> |
|
|
|
<b>cd ../progs/demos</b> |
|
|
|
</blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
Builds and executes all demos. |
|
|
|
Run a demo such as gears: |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="old"> |
|
|
|
<H2>OLD-STYLE compilation and installation</H2> |
|
|
|
<blockquote> |
|
|
|
<b>./gears</b> |
|
|
|
</blockquote> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
This procedure usually works when <code>./configure ; make</code> fails. |
|
|
|
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> |
|
|
|
<b>Note</b>: If you tried <code>./configure ; make</code> but it failed, |
|
|
|
first copy the top-level <code>Makefile.X11</code> file over |
|
|
|
<code>Makefile</code>. |
|
|
|
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> |
|
|
|
<B>Also Note</B>: if you've obtained Mesa directly from CVS you'll have |
|
|
|
to copy the top-level Makefile.X11 to Makefile. |
|
|
|
You should see something like this: |
|
|

If you install the libraries in a non-standard location you can use |

LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on Linux) to switch between the Mesa libs and another |

vendor libs whenever you want. |
|
|

This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations. |

On Linux and similar operating systems the <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> |

search for shared libraries. |

set the <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> variable in order to use the Mesa |

libraries. |
