119<p>
Dylan Baker40ec5fe2018-12-20 11:27:52 -0800120Meson is the latest build system in mesa, it is currently able to build for
121*nix systems like Linux and BSD, and will be able to build for windows as well.
122</p>
123
124<p>
125The general approach is:
126</p>
127<pre>
128 meson builddir/
129 ninja -C builddir/
130 sudo ninja -C builddir/ install
131</pre>
132<p>
133Please read the <a href="meson.html">detailed meson instructions</a>

138
139<p>
Dylan Bakerb165ac92019-04-08 12:56:51 -0700140 Autoconf support was removed in Mesa 19.1.0. Please use meson instead.

Brian Paul7103a182012-04-19 09:56:36 -0600146
147<p>
148To build Mesa with SCons on Linux or Windows do
149</p>
150<pre>
151 scons
152</pre>
153<p>
154The build output will be placed in
155build/<i>platform</i>-<i>machine</i>-<i>debug</i>/..., where <i>platform</i> is for
156example linux or windows, <i>machine</i> is x86 or x86_64, optionally followed
157by -debug for debug builds.
158</p>
159
160<p>
161To build Mesa with SCons for Windows on Linux using the MinGW crosscompiler toolchain do
162</p>
163<pre>
Jose Fonseca17b28252015-03-03 14:52:15 +0000164 scons platform=windows toolchain=crossmingw machine=x86 libgl-gdi
Brian Paul7103a182012-04-19 09:56:36 -0600165</pre>
166<p>
167This will create:

Brian Paul7103a182012-04-19 09:56:36 -0600171</ul>
172<p>
173Put them all in the same directory to test them.

Emil Velikov0fa854ae2016-06-29 13:13:25 +0100184Currently one can build Mesa for Android as part of the AOSP project, yet
185your experience might vary.

189In order to achieve that one should update their local manifest to point to the
Eric Engestrom077879c2017-02-26 23:58:03 +0000190upstream repo, set the appropriate BOARD_GPU_DRIVERS and build the

203When compilation has finished, look in the top-level <code>lib/</code>
204(or <code>lib64/</code>) directory.
205You'll see a set of library files similar to this:
206</p>

217<b>libGL</b> is the main OpenGL library (i.e. Mesa).
218<br>
Brian Paul7103a182012-04-19 09:56:36 -0600219<b>libOSMesa</b> is the OSMesa (Off-Screen) interface library.
220</p>
221
222<p>
223If you built the DRI hardware drivers, you'll also see the DRI drivers:

233If you built with Gallium support, look in lib/gallium/ for Gallium-based
234versions of libGL and device drivers.

Brian5bba58c2007-09-12 10:11:49 -0600239
240<p>
241Running <code>make install</code> will install package configuration files
242for the pkg-config utility.
243</p>
244
245<p>
246When compiling your OpenGL application you can use pkg-config to determine
247the proper compiler and linker flags.
248</p>
249
250<p>
251For example, compiling and linking a GLUT application can be done with:
252</p>
253<pre>
254 gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glut` mydemo.c -o mydemo
