2. Compilation

+Get glxproto.h. Copy it to the /mesa/include/GL/ directory. +

+ +

2.2 libpciaccess

-You'll need the DRM and pciaccess libraries. Check with: +Check if you have libpciaccess installed:

-   pkg-config --modversion libdrm
-   pkg-config --modversion pciaccess

-   git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
-   git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libpciaccess
+   git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libpciaccess
 
-
 
-See the README files in those projects for build/install instructions.
+Run autogen.sh to generate a configure file. autogen.sh uses autoconf
+utility. This utility may not be installed with your linux distro,
+check if it is available. if not you can use your package manager or
+type:
+
+sudo apt-get install autoconf
+
+The next step is to install the libpciaccess library. 
+make
+make install
+
+ Now your libpciaccess.a file is saved into /usr/local/lib
+directory. If you have a libpciaccess.a in /usr/lib you may simply copy
+and overwrite these files. Don't forget to copy libpciaccess.pc file to
+/usr/lib/pkgconfig, which is also located in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/.
+Or you may use the following system variables:
+
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
+
+
+2.3 drm
+
+The next step is to compile the drm. DRM consists of two seperate parts,
+the DRM client library(lindrm.so) and kernel device module(such as
+radeon.ko). We need to make a small change in kernel device module. So
+you need to download the kernel source. You may choose the nearest
+mirror from www.kernel.org, or you are using Fedora Core 5, for
+example, you may need to install RPMs such as:
+kernel-smp-devel-2.16.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm
+kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm
+etc. You can find a detailed information here.
 
 
+You will find drm_drv.c at /usr/src/LINUX-VERSION/drivers/char/drm/. Edit this code and comment out the following part:
+
 
-
+
+   /* ||
+   ((ioctl->flags & DRM_MASTER) && !priv->master)*/
+
+Now you are ready to compile your kernel. If your kernel version is
+identical to the version you have compiled, you can simply over write
+your new "ko" files over older ones. If you have compiled a different
+kernel, you must configure your grub or lilo to be able to boot your
+new kernel. 
 You'll need fbdev header files.  Check with:
 
 -   ls -l /usr/include/linux/fb.h
+   ls -l /usr/include/linux/fb.
 
+This file may be missing if you have not installed linux header files.

-You'll need to get Mesa from git (see above).

+
+
Get latest development Mesa sources from git repository
+(currently 7.1-prerelease)
+
++   git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
+
+
+You will need the makedepend utility which is a part of mesa project
+to build your linux-solo. You probably wont have this utility. You can
+download its source from following git repulsitory:
 
 -   make linux-solo
+   git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/makedepend
+
+
+Get the latest stable mesa version from SourceForge (currently 7.0.3)
+http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3
+
+
+Copy the miniglx folder from 7.1-prerelease to 7.0.3.
+You may also extract GLUT to 7.0.3 version at this step. 
+
+
+Edit linux-solo.conf at /conf directory, just only compile the
+graphics driver you need, delete the unwanted drivers names from the
+list(some drivers are causing problems...)
+
++   while(build==0)
+   {
+     make linux-solo
+
+     There will be some missing header files, copy them from 7.1-prerelease
