It is up to the application to call + <code>glGetError</code> to check for errors. Mesa supports an + environment variable, MESA_DEBUG, to help with debugging. If + MESA_DEBUG is defined, a message will be printed to stdout whenever + an error occurs. +</p> + +<p> + More extensive error checking is done when Mesa is compiled with the + DEBUG symbol defined. You'll have to edit the Make-config file and + add -DDEBUG to the CFLAGS line for your system configuration. You may + also want to replace any optimization flags with the -g flag so you can + use your debugger. After you've edited Make-config type 'make clean' + before recompiling. +</p> +<p> + In your debugger you can set a breakpoint in _mesa_error() to trap Mesa + errors. +</p> +<p> + There is a display list printing/debugging facility. See the end of + src/dlist.c for details. +</p> + +</BODY> +</HTML> -- cgit v1.2.3
