-Mesa is distributed in several parts:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
- and documentation.
-</li>
-<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
- Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
- <a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut"
- target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
- <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or

-<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
- with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
-</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
-package.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages.

+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

-<h3>1.1 Prerequisites for DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>
-
-<p>
-The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/">dri2proto</a> version 1.99.3 or later
-<li>Linux 2.6.28
-<li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/" target="_parent">libDRM</a>

-
-
-<a name="autoconf">
-<h3>1.2 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>1.3 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>1.4 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:
-</p>

-<h3>1.5 Running the demos</h3>
-
-<p>
-If you downloaded/unpacked the MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz archive or
-obtained Mesa from CVS, the <b>progs/</b> directory will contain a
-bunch of demonstration programs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Before running a demo, you'll probably have to set two environment variables
-to indicate where the libraries are located. For example:
-<p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>cd lib/</b>
-<br>
-<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b>
-<br>
-<b>export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using DRI drivers)
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-Next, change to the Mesa/demos/ directory:
-</p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>cd ../progs/demos</b>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-Run a demo such as gears:
-</p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>./gears</b>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-If this doesn't work, try the <b>Mesa/progs/xdemos/glxinfo</b> program
-and see that it prints the expected Mesa version number.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you're using Linux or a similar OS, verify that the demo program is
-being linked with the proper library files:
-</p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>ldd gears</b>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-You should see something like this:
-</p>
-<pre>
- libglut.so.3 => /home/brian/Mesa/lib/libglut.so.3 (0x40013000)
- libGLU.so.1 => /home/brian/Mesa/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0x40051000)

-<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

+<h3>1.1 General prerequisites for building</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>lex / yacc - for building the GLSL compiler.
+On Linux systems, flex and bison are used.
+Versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively, (or later) should work.
+</li>
+<li>python - Python is needed for building the Gallium components.
+Version 2.6.4 or later should work.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<a name="prereq-dri">
+<h3>1.2 Prerequisites for DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>
+
+<p>
+The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/">dri2proto</a> version 1.99.3 or later
+<li>Linux 2.6.28
+<li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/" target="_parent">libDRM</a>
+version 2.4.15 or later
+<li>Xorg server version 1.5 or later
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+
+<a name="autoconf">
+<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:

+If you built with Gallium support, look in lib/gallium/ for Gallium-based
+versions of libGL and device drivers.

+
+<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
