Downloading / Unpacking

+ +

+Mesa can be downloaded from the + +SourceForge download area. +

+ +

+Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code +and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not +interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file. +

+ +

+Mesa is available in at least three archive formats: +

+ +

+1. GNU zip/tar
+
+	Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
+	Unpack with:
+		gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+		gzcat MesaDemos-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 MesaLib-X.Y.tar
+	or
+		tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
+		tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
+
+	If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead.
+
+2. Unix compressed/tar
+
+	Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z
+	Unpack with:
+		zcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
+		zcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
+
+3. ZIP format
+
+	Download MesaLib-X.Y.zip and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
+	Unpack with:
+		unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
+		unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
+

+ +

+After unpacking you'll have these directories (and more): +

+Makefile.X11	- "old" top-level Makefile for X11-based systems
+Make-config	- system configurations used by the Makefile.X11
+configure	- the GNU autoconf script
+bin/		- shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
+include/	- GL header (include) files
+lib/		- client libraries, created during installation
+src/		- source code for the main libGL library
+si-glu/		- SGI Sample Implementation of libGLU
+src-glu/	- old source code for libGLU (obsolete)
+docs/		- documentation
+util/		- handly utility functions
+widgets-mesa/	- Mesa widgets for Xt/Motif (obsolete)
+widgets-sgi/	- SGI OpenGL widgets for Xt/Motif
+
+and if you downloaded and unpacked the demos:
+
+src-glut/	- source code for GLUT toolkit
+demos/		- GLUT demos
+xdemos/		- X11 and SVGA demo programs
+samples/	- sample OpenGL programs from SGI
+book/		- example programs from the OpenGL Programming Guide,
+		  converted to GLUT by Mark Kilgard, from GLUT distribution.
+images/		- image files
+
+

+ +

+Proceed to compilation and installation +instructions. +

+ +

GLUT

+ +

+Mesa 2.5 and later includes Mark Kilgard's GLUT library (GL Utility Toolkit). +GLUT is built automatically on systems which support it. +

+The GLUT tests, demos, examples, etc are not included, just the main library. +To obtain the latest complete release of GLUT please visit the +GLUT homepage +
