Updating Mesa to 7.7

[Azrael3000]

Hi,

I'm running Karmic and want to update Mesa to 7.7 since I have problems with Blender. However at the end of ./configure I get the following:

        prefix:          /usr/local
        exec_prefix:     ${prefix}
        libdir:          ${exec_prefix}/lib

After doing make I get in lib/

As you can see I don't get the libOSMesa libraries. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Arno

Edit: Classical rtfm (closely). No ./configure needed.

Hi,


Edit: Classical rtfm (closely). No ./configure needed.

Could you elaborate?

[Azrael3000]

Sure. Installation is also described here: http://www.mesa3d.org/install.html

Mesa has a few built in configurations, so you would only do something like

 $ make linux-x86

If you only enter

 $ make

then you'll see a list of available configuration and you should choose whatever fits your architecture.

Of course to finish up you need to do

 $ sudo make install

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Hi

i tried to compile mesa 7.7 today on 9.10 and it says i need libdrm >= 2.4.15. How can i get the dev packages for those (or make them from source)? (The repositories only have 2.4.14)

[Azrael3000]

do you have xserver-xorg-dev installed? I installed 2.4.16 so I don't know about 2.4.17.

[woop11]

sorry, i think i must have seen (the version) wrong because i just ran ./configure again and it worked this time. sadly diddnt help my cause but thanks anyway

Much easier than building from source. My only word of caution is that you may end up with a DRM version not matching the in-kernel one and need to upgrade your kernel (but you'd have ended up with that installing from source anyway).
