Mesa compilation and installation instructions
Mesa 3.1 now uses GNU autoconfig for compilation and installation.
Previously, traditional Makefiles were used to compile Mesa.
You now have the choice of how you want to build Mesa:
NEW-STYLE: Basically, type "./configure" followed by "make"
This should work on most Unix-like operating systems.
For more details, see the NEW-STYLE section below.
OLD-STYLE: Simply type "make" and you'll see a list of supported
system configurations. Pick one and type "make <config>"
For more details, see the OLD-STYLE section below.
===============================================================================
NEW-STYLE Mesa compilation and installation instructions begin here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) 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.
1) Run the configure script
./configure [options]
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.
--enable-debug
Enable debugging messages (disabled by default).
--enable-profile
Enable profiling (disabled by default).
--disable-optimize
Disable extra optimizations (enabled by default,
i.e., optimize for maximum performance).
--enable-warn
Enable extended compiler warnings (disabled by default).
--enable-x86[=ARG]
--disable-x86
Enable/disable x86 assembler support to speed up Mesa
(autodetected by default). You may set `on' or `off'.
--enable-3dnow[=ARG]
--disable-3dnow
Enable/disable 3Dnow support to speed up Mesa
(autodetected by default). You may set `on' or `off'.
--enable-mmx[=ARG]
--disable-mmx
Enable/disable MMX support to speed up Mesa
(autodetected by default). You may set `on' or `off'.
--with-glide[=DIR]
--without-glide
Enable/disable support for Glide (autodetected by default).
DIR is the installation directory of Glide.
If Glide cannot be found, the driver won't be built.
--with-glut[=DIR]
--without-glut
Don't/use already-installed GLUT (autodetected by default).
DIR is the installation directory of Glut.
If GLUT cannot be found, the version shipped with Mesa will be built.
--with-ggi[=DIR]
--without-ggi
Enable/disable support for GGI (autodetected by default).
DIR is the installation directory of GGI.
If GGI cannot be found, the driver won't be built.
--disable-ggi-fbdev
Don't build the GGI fbdev target (autodetected by default).
--disable-ggi-genkgi
Don't build the GGI generic KGI driver (autodetected by default).
--disable-ggi-savage4
Don't build the GGI Savage4 KGI driver (autodetected by default).
--disable-osmesa
Disable OSmesa (offscreen rendering) support (enabled by default).
--with-svga[=DIR]
--without-svga
Enable/disable support for SVGALib (autodetected by default).
DIR is the installation directory of SVGALib.
If SVGALib cannot be found, the driver won't be built.
--x-includes=DIR
Search for the X include files in DIR.
--x-libraries=DIR
Search for the X library files in DIR.
User specific compiler options can be set using the shell variable
CFLAGS. For instance,
CFLAGS="-g -O2" ./configure
(on some systems: env CFLAGS="-g -O2" ./configure)
sets the compiler flags to "-g -O2".
For more options run "./configure --help" and read INSTALL.GNU.
2) To build the Mesa libraries run:
make
Optionally, you can strip the libraries using
make strip
Now make sure that you have the permissions to install Mesa in the
specified directories, for example, by becoming super user ("su")
Then run:
make install
Mesa is now installed.
Please don't move the installed files but rerun all installation
steps if you want to use other directories.
3) To test whether Mesa works properly you might want to run the Mesa demos:
make check
Builds all demos.
make exec
Builds and executes all demos.
===============================================================================
OLD-STYLE Mesa compilation and installation instructions begin here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To build Mesa on most Unix-like operations systems, start by typing
"make" alone. You'll see a list of supported system configurations.
Choose one, call it <config>, type "make <config>".

Header and library files:
After you've compiled Mesa and tried the demos I recommend the following
procedure for "installing" Mesa on Unix systems.
Copy the Mesa include/GL directory to /usr/local/include:
cp -r include/GL /usr/local/include
Copy the Mesa library files to /usr/local/lib:
cp lib/* /usr/local/lib
(actually, use "cp -d" on Linux to preserve symbolic links)
Create a few symbolic links so that compiling OpenGL applications is easy:
cd /usr/local/lib
IF USING STATIC (lib*.a) FILES THEN
ln -s libMesaGL.a libGL.a
ln -s libMesaGLU.a libGLU.a
ELSE
ln -s libMesaGL.so libGL.so
ln -s libMesaGLU.so libGLU.so
ENDIF
