Introduction to Mesa
Mesa is an OpenGL compatible 3D library. Three packages are available.
- MesaLib - the main Mesa library source code, drivers and documentation.
- MesaDemos - OpenGL demonstration and test programs. Most of the programs require GLUT.
- MesaGLUT - provides a working libglut.
If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first package. However, there are a few other packages that can use a GLUT library (such as LibTIFF), so you may wish to install MesaGLUT as well. If you choose to install the demos, extract all three tarballs from the same toplevel directory. All three will extract to the Mesa-7.9 directory.

Dependencies
Required
- Xorg Protocol Headers glproto >=1.4.5
- Xorg Libraries
- Xorg Utilities
- libdrm
Note: Don't remove the source after building MesaLib. It is needed by the Xorg Xserver build. You need to pass the path to the MesaLib source when building xorg-server, so take note of it.
Note: Executing 'make' in the top of the source tree will provide a list of supported targets. Several of these are 64-bit targets. Do not use these on a pure 64-bit system. The config files for these targets look in $XORG_PREFIX/lib64 for dependencies. They are really for multilib use and the regular linux or linux-dri target are appropriate for either the pure 32-bit or pure 64-bit system
