Downloading

+ +

+Primary Mesa download site: +freedesktop.org (FTP) +

+ +

+When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) may be found +here. +

+ + +

+Mesa is distributed in several parts: +

MesaLib-x.y.z - the main Mesa library source code, drivers + and documentation. +
MesaDemos-x.y.z - OpenGL demonstration and test programs. + Most of the programs require GLUT (either the + original GLUT by Mark Kilgard or + freeglut or + OpenGLUT). +
MesaGLUT-x.y.z - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used + with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc. +

+ +

+If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first +package. +

+ +

+If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages. +

+ +

+The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats. +Other sites might offer additional package formats. +

+ +

Unpacking

+ +

+All the packages should be in the same directory prior to unpacking. +

+ +

To unpack .tar.gz files: +

+	tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
+	tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
+	tar zxf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz
+

+or +

+	gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+	gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+	gzcat MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+

+or +

+	gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
+	gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar
+	gunzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar
+

To unpack .tar.bz2 files: +

+	bunzip2 -c MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+	bunzip2 -c MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+	bunzip2 -c MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+

To unpack .zip files: +

+	unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
+	unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
+	unzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.zip
+

+ + +

+ +

+After unpacking you'll have these files and directories (among others): +

+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/glu		- libGLU source code
+src/glx		- sources for building libGL with full GLX and DRI support
+src/glw		- Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
+

+ +If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaDemos.X.Y package: + +

+progs/demos	- original Mesa demos
+progs/xdemos	- GLX OpenGL/Mesa demos
+progs/redbook	- examples from the OpenGL Programming Guide
+progs/samples	- examples from SGI
+progs/images/	- image files
+

+ +If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaGLUT.X.Y package: +

+src/glut	- GLUT library source code
+

+ +

+Proceed to the compilation and installation +instructions. +

+ + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
