Mesa-24.2.5

Installation of Mesa

Note

If you are using NVIDIA-560.35.03 and wish to use Steam-1.0.0.82, this package is still a requirement as Steam depends on Mesa's GBM, or else the webhelper will repeatedly launch and crash before showing an error screen. You will need to have at least one gallium driver for this package to compile. Set the option -D gallium-drivers=nouveau to get this package over and done with as then you can move on. The 32-bit version of this package is not necessary if you are doing this.

Install Mesa by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup                    \
      --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX    \
      --buildtype=release      \
      -D osmesa=true           \
      -D platforms=x11,wayland \
      -D gallium-drivers=auto  \
      -D vulkan-drivers=auto   \
      -D valgrind=disabled     \
      -D video-codecs=all      \
      -D libunwind=disabled    \
      -D glvnd=enabled         \
      ..    &&

ninja

To test the results, issue: meson configure -D build-tests=true && ninja test.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

If desired, install the optional documentation by running the following commands as the root user:

cp -rv ../docs -T /usr/share/doc/mesa-24.2.5

32-bit Installation of Mesa

First clean the build directory:

rm -rf *

Install lib32-Mesa by running the following commands:

CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32"                 \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/lib32/pkgconfig \
meson setup                                  \
      --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX                  \
      --libdir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib32            \
      --buildtype=release                    \
      -D osmesa=true                         \
      -D platforms=x11,wayland               \
      -D gallium-drivers=auto                \
      -D vulkan-drivers=auto                 \
      -D valgrind=disabled                   \
      -D video-codecs=all                    \
      -D libunwind=disabled                  \
      -D glvnd=enabled                       \
      .. &&
      sed -i 's/\/usr\/lib\//\/usr\/lib32\//g' ./build.ninja &&

ninja

Now, as the root user:

DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR ninja install
cp -vr DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/lib32/* $XORG_PREFIX/lib32
if [ -d DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/share/vulkan ]; then
     cp -vR DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/share/vulkan $XORG_PREFIX/share
fi
rm -rf DESTDIR
ldconfig

32-bit Installation of NVK and Vulkan Swrast

Note

Feel free to skip this section if you don't want to install the Nouveau Vulkan driver (NVK) or Vulkan swrast.

NVK and Vulkan swrast have special requirements to be configured and compiled, requiring extra steps. You are going to need to modify a few paths in a personality file used by Pkgconf, as it searches in /usr rather than $XORG_PREFIX.

Note

If the expanded path is /usr, skip to cleaning the build directory.

Change the paths in the Pkgconf personality file as the root user:

sed -i 's/\/usr/\$XORG_PREFIX/g' \
    /usr/share/pkgconfig/personality.d/i686-pc-linux-gnu.personality

Now clean the build directory:

rm -rf *

Install lib32-NVK and/or Vulkan swrast by following the commands:

meson setup                                      \
            --cross-file lib32                   \
            --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX                \
            --libdir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib32          \
            --buildtype=release                  \
            -D platforms=x11,wayland             \
            -D gallium-drivers=softpipe,llvmpipe \
            -D vulkan-drivers=nouveau,swrast     \
            -D glx=disabled                      \
            -D egl=disabled                      \
            -D opengl=false                      \
            -D gles1=disabled                    \
            -D gles2=disabled                    \
            -D valgrind=disabled                 \
            -D libunwind=disabled                \
            .. &&
            sed -i 's/\/usr\/lib\//\/usr\/lib32\//g' ./build.ninja &&

ninja

Now, as the root user:

DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR ninja install
cp -vR DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/lib32/* $XORG_PREFIX/lib32
cp -vR DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/share/vulkan $XORG_PREFIX/share
rm -rf DESTDIR
ldconfig

If you modified the Pkgconf personality, you can change it back by doing the following command as the root user:

sed -i 's/\$XORG_PREFIX/\/usr/g' \
    /usr/share/pkgconfig/personality.d/i686-pc-linux-gnu.personality
