<para>
If you have downloaded the xdemos patch (needed if testing the Xorg
installation per BLFS instructions), apply it by running the following
command:
</para>
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../MesaLib-&mesalib-version;-add_xdemos-1.patch</userinput></screen>
<para>
Install <application>MesaLib</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>autoreconf -f -i &amp;&amp;
./configure CFLAGS='-O2' CXXFLAGS='-O2' \
--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \
--sysconfdir=/etc \

make</userinput></screen>
<para>
If you have applied the xdemos patch, build the demo programs by
running the following command:
</para>
<screen><userinput>make -C xdemos DEMOS_PREFIX=$XORG_PREFIX</userinput></screen>

<para>
<parameter>CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2"</parameter>: By default,
<application>Autoconf</application> sets CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to
"-g -O2". That results in binaries and libraries being built with
debugging symbols which make them bigger. Override the default
flags to omit -g compiler flag so the final libraries are smaller.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-texture-float</parameter>: This switch enables
floating-point textures and render buffers. Please consult
<filename>docs/patents.txt</filename> to see if there are
any legal issues if you use this feature.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-gles1</parameter>: This switch enables support for
OpenGL ES 1.x API.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-gles2</parameter>: This switch enables support for
OpenGL ES 2.x API.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-osmesa</parameter>: This switch enables building of
the <filename class="libraryfile">libOSMesa</filename> library.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-xa</parameter>: This switch enables building of the
XA X Acceleration API (Required for VMware 3D Driver).
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-gbm</parameter>: This switch enables building of the
<application>Mesa</application> Graphics Buffer Manager library.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--enable-glx-tls</parameter>: This switch enables TLS (Thread Local
Storage) support in GLX.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-egl-platforms="..."</parameter>: This parameter
controls for which platforms EGL should be built. Available
platforms are drm, x11 and wayland.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-gallium-drivers="..."</parameter>: This parameter
controls which Gallium3D drivers should be built. Available drivers
are: i915, ilo, nouveau, r300, r600, radeonsi, svga and swrast. You
will need to remove r300 and radeonsi from the list if you did
not install <application>elfutils</application> and
<application>LLVM</application>.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-r600-llvm-compiler</option>: Use this switch to
enable experimental R600 <application>LLVM</application> backend
for graphics shaders which claims to speed up the driver.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-sysfs</option>: Use this switch to enable simple PCI
identification method, required for building DRI on systems without udev.
