<H1>Compilation and Installation for Unix/X11</H1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you're not using a variant of Unix with X11, see the
|
||||
<a href="systems.html">Supported Systems and Drivers</a> section
|
||||
for instructions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are two methods for building Mesa on Unix/X11 systems:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<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).
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
<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>.
|
||||
More details below.
|
||||
</dd>
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<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.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In either case, building Mesa entails the following:
|
||||
<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.)
|
||||
</ul>

|

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. You'll need these programs
|
||||
to run the bootstrap script:
|
||||
|
||||
autoconf 2.50
|
||||
automake 1.4-p2
|
||||
libtool 1.4
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1) Run the configure script
|
||||
|
||||
./configure [options]
|
||||
|
||||
For Linux, it is recommended that you use:
|
||||
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||||
So that the headers and libs are located according to the Linux/OpenGL
|
||||
standard spec at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
--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'.
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-sse[=ARG]
|
||||
--disable-sse
|
||||
Enable/disable SSE support to speed up Mesa
|
||||
(autodetected by default). You may set `on' or `off'.
|
||||
If you have a PentiumIII and want to use SSE make sure you have the
|
||||
PIII Linux kernel-patch installed or things will fail!
|
||||
You can get the patch from http://www.redhat.com/~dledford/linux_kernel.html
|
||||
|
||||
--with-glide[=DIR]
|
||||
--without-glide
|
||||
Enable/disable support for Glide (disabled 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
|
||||
|
||||
When finished, libGL.so will be in src/.libs/, libGLU.so will be in
|
||||
si-glu/.libs/, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
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.

<H2>OLD-STYLE compilation and installation</H2>
|
||||
|

<p>
|
||||
This procedure usually works when <code>./configure ; make</code> fails.
|
||||
</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>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, just type <code>make</code> alone.
|
||||
You'll see a list of supported system configurations.
|
||||
Choose one and type <code>make</code> <em>config</em>.
|
||||
The Mesa libraries and demo programs will be compiled.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<H3>Header and library files</H3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The standard location for the OpenGL header files on Unix-type systems is
|
||||
in <code>/usr/include/GL/</code>.
|
||||
The standard location for the libraries is <code>/usr/lib/</code>.
|
||||
For more information see, the
|
||||
<a href="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/" target="_parent">
|
||||
Linux/OpenGL ABI specification</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you'd like Mesa to co-exist with another implementation of OpenGL that's
|
||||
already installed, you'll have to choose different directories, like
|
||||
<code>/usr/local/include/GL/</code> and <code>/usr/local/lib/</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To install the Mesa headers, do this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
cp -r include/GL /usr/include
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To install the Mesa libraries, do this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
cp -pd lib/* /usr/lib
|
||||
|
||||
(The -pd options preserve symbolic links)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<H3>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</H3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On Linux and similar operating systems the <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>
|
||||
environment variable can be used to indicate a list of directories to
|
||||
search for shared libraries.
|
||||
If you don't install Mesa in <code>/usr/lib/</code> you may have to
|
||||
set the <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> variable in order to use the Mesa
|
||||
libraries.
