<H1>Downloading / Unpacking</H1>

<p>
Mesa can be downloaded from the
<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent">
SourceForge download area</A>.
</p>

<p>
Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces:  main library code
and demos.  If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
</p>

<p>
Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
</p>

<pre>
1. GNU zip/tar

	Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
	Unpack with:
		gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
		gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
	or
		gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
		gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
	or
		tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
		tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz

	If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead.

2. Unix compressed/tar

	Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z
	Unpack with:
		zcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
		zcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -

3. ZIP format

	Download MesaLib-X.Y.zip and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
	Unpack with:
		unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
		unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
</pre>

<p>
After unpacking you'll have these directories (and more):
</p>
<pre>
Makefile.X11	- "old" top-level Makefile for X11-based systems
Make-config	- system configurations used by the Makefile.X11
configure	- the GNU autoconf script
bin/		- shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
include/	- GL header (include) files
lib/		- client libraries, created during installation
src/		- source code for the main libGL library
si-glu/		- SGI Sample Implementation of libGLU
src-glu/	- old source code for libGLU (obsolete)
docs/		- documentation
util/		- handly utility functions
widgets-mesa/	- Mesa widgets for Xt/Motif (obsolete)
widgets-sgi/	- SGI OpenGL widgets for Xt/Motif

and if you downloaded and unpacked the demos:

src-glut/	- source code for GLUT toolkit
demos/		- GLUT demos
xdemos/		- X11 and SVGA demo programs
samples/	- sample OpenGL programs from SGI
book/		- example programs from the OpenGL Programming Guide,
		  converted to GLUT by Mark Kilgard, from GLUT distribution.

</pre>

<p>
Proceed to <a href="install.html">compilation and installation

</p>

<H1>GLUT</H1>

<p>
Mesa 2.5 and later includes Mark Kilgard's GLUT library (GL Utility Toolkit).
GLUT is built automatically on systems which support it.
</p>
<p>
The GLUT tests, demos, examples, etc are not included, just the main library.
To obtain the latest complete release of GLUT please visit the
