Installing this private library into the default library
search path avoids needing to rely on -Wl,-rpath,
which is inconsistently implemented as either DT_RUNPATH
or DT_RPATH on different distributions; in particular,
on distributions that implement it as DT_RPATH,
it interferes with use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and has semantics
that are difficult to reason about, and is incompatible with
Steam's container runtime (which has the known limitation that
it only implements DT_RUNPATH and not DT_RPATH).
To avoid third-party developers being tempted to link to the
unstable libgallium, give it a name that varies with each Mesa release,
so that there is no obvious way for third-party software to link to it.
This is similar to the way the proprietary Nvidia driver sets up its similar
implementation-detail libraries such as libnvidia-glcore.so.535.183.01.
Fixes: 50fc7cc2 ("glx: directly link to gallium")

`Mesa <https://mesa3d.org>`_ - The 3D Graphics Library ====================================================== Source ------ This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa. Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported. Build & install --------------- You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst <https://docs.mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://docs.mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_): .. code-block:: sh $ mkdir build $ cd build $ meson .. $ sudo ninja install Support ------- Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel <irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if necessary. Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might take a while before someone qualified sees your question. To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your question, check out `Who's Who on IRC <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_. The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_ Bug reports ----------- If you think something isn't working properly, please file a bug report (`docs/bugs.rst <https://docs.mesa3d.org/bugs.html>`_). Contributing ------------ Contributions are welcome, and step-by-step instructions can be found in our documentation (`docs/submittingpatches.rst <https://docs.mesa3d.org/submittingpatches.html>`_). Note that Mesa uses gitlab for patches submission, review and discussions.
