+Primary Mesa download site:
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/"
+target="_parent">freedesktop.org</a> (FTP)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found

+
+
+<p>
+The Mesa package is named MesaLib-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} where x.y.z
+is the version. There are three types of compressed archives.
+</p>
+<p>
+There's also the MesaGLUT-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} packages which
+contain Mark Kilgard's GLUT library.
+This is optional.
+Most Linux distributions include an implementation of GLUT (such as freeglut).
+</p>
+<p>
+In the past, the Mesa demos collection was distributed as
+MesaDemos-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip}.
+Now, the
+<a href="ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/demos/" target="_parent">
+Mesa demos</a> are distributed separately.

+<pre>
+ tar zxf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gzcat MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gunzip MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-x.y.z.tar

+<p>
+To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ bunzip2 -c MesaLib-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+<p>
+To unpack .zip files:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ unzip MesaLib-x.y.z.zip
+</pre>
+
+
+<h1>Contents</h1>
+
+<p>
+After unpacking you'll have these files and directories (among others):
+</p>
+<pre>
+Makefile - top-level Makefile for most systems
+configs/ - makefile parameter files for various systems
+include/ - GL header (include) files
+bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
+docs/ - documentation
+src/ - source code for libraries
+src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
+src/gallium - sources for Gallium and Gallium drivers
+src/glu - libGLU source code
+src/glx - sources for building libGL with full GLX and DRI support
+src/glw - Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
+</pre>
+
+If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaGLUT.x.y.z package:

+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/">dri2proto</a> version 1.99.3 or later

+<h3>1.3 Building with Autoconf</h3>
+
+<p>
+Mesa may be <a href="autoconf.html">built using autoconf</a>.
+This should work well on most GNU-based systems.
+If that fails the traditional Mesa build system is available.
+
+
+
+<a name="traditional">
+<h3>1.4 Building with traditional Makefiles</h3>
+
+<p>
+The traditional Mesa build system is based on a collection of pre-defined
+system configurations.
+</p>
+<p>
+To see the list of configurations, just type <code>make</code>.
+Then choose a configuration from the list and type <code>make</code>
+<em>configname</em>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Mesa may be built in several different ways using the predefined configurations:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b><em>Stand-alone/Xlib mode</em></b> - Mesa will be compiled as
+a software renderer using Xlib to do all rendering.
+The libGL.so library will be a self-contained rendering library that will
+allow you to run OpenGL/GLX applications on any X server (regardless of
+whether it supports the GLX X server extension).
+You will <em>not</em> be able to use hardware 3D acceleration.
+<p>
+To compile stand-alone Mesa type <code>make</code> in the top-level directory.
+You'll see a list of supported system configurations.
+Choose one from the list (such as linux-x86), and type:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ make linux-x86
+</pre>
+<p>This will produce libGL.so and several other libraries</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><b><em>DRI/accelerated</em></b> - The DRI hardware drivers for
+accelerated OpenGL rendering (for ATI, Intel, Matrox, etc) will be built.
+The libGL.so library will support the GLX extension and will load/use
+the DRI hardware drivers.
+
+
+<p>
+Build Mesa and the DRI hardware drivers by running
+</p>
+<pre>
+ make linux-dri
+</pre>
+<p>
+There are also <code>linux-dri-x86</code>, <code>linux-dri-x86-64</code>,
+and <code>linux-ppc</code> configurations which are optimized for those
+architectures.
+</p>
+<p>
+Make sure you have the prerequisite versions of DRM and Xserver mentioned
+above.
+</p>
+
+</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+Later, if you want to rebuild for a different configuration run
+<code>make realclean</code> before rebuilding.
+</p>
+
+
+<a name="libs">
+<h3>1.5 The libraries</h3>
+
+<p>
+When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <code>lib/</code>
+(or <code>lib64/</code>) directory.
+You'll see a set of library files similar to this:

+<a name="install">
+<H3>1.6 Installing the 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 Mesa's headers and libraries, run <code>make install</code>.
+But first, check the Mesa/configs/default file and examine the values
+of the <b>INSTALL_DIR</b> and <b>DRI_DRIVER_INSTALL_DIR</b> variables.
+Change them if needed, then run <code>make install</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The variable
+<b>DESTDIR</b> may also be used to install the contents to a temporary
+staging directory.
+This can be useful for package management.
+For example: <code>make install DESTDIR=/somepath/</code>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note: at runtime you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
+(on Linux at least) to switch
+between the Mesa libraries and other vendor's libraries whenever you want.
+This is a handy way to compare multiple OpenGL implementations.
+</p>
+
+
+<a name="pkg-config">
+<H3>1.7 Building OpenGL programs with pkg-config</H3>
+
+<p>
+Running <code>make install</code> will install package configuration files
+for the pkg-config utility.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When compiling your OpenGL application you can use pkg-config to determine
+the proper compiler and linker flags.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, compiling and linking a GLUT application can be done with:
+</p>
+<pre>
+ gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glut` mydemo.c -o mydemo
