<para>
Install <application>MesaLib</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>sed 's@FLAGS=\"-g@FLAGS=\"@' -i configure &amp;&amp;
patch -Np1 -i ../MesaLib-&mesalib-version;-add_xdemos-3.patch &amp;&amp;

./configure --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \
--enable-texture-float \
--enable-gles1 \
--enable-gles2 \
--enable-xa \
--enable-shared-glapi \
--enable-shared-dricore \
--enable-glx-tls \
--with-gallium-drivers="nouveau,r300,r600,svga,swrast" &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
This package does not come with a test suite.
</para>
<para>
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
mkdir -pv ${XORG_PREFIX}/share/doc/MesaLib-&mesalib-version; &amp;&amp;
cp -rfv docs/* ${XORG_PREFIX}/share/doc/MesaLib-&mesalib-version;</userinput></screen>
<para>
Finally, if installing to any prefix other than
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, you should create symlinks
to the GL headers in <filename class="directory">/usr/include</filename>.
Execute the following command as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>for GLHEADER in EGL GL GLES GLES2 KHR xa_composite.h xa_context.h xa_tracker.h

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para>
<command>sed 's@FLAGS=\"-g@FLAGS=\"@' -i configure</command>: by default,
Mesa builds with debugging symbols. Remove the -g switch from both
<envar>CFLAGS</envar> and <envar>CXXFLAGS</envar> with this command.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-texture-float</option>: This switch enables
floating-point textures and renderbuffers. Please consult
<filename>docs/patents.txt</filename> to see if there are
any legal issues if you use this feature.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-gles1</option>: This switch enables support for
OpenGL ES 1.x API.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-gles2</option>: This switch enables support for
OpenGL ES 2.x API.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-xa</option>: This switch enables building of the
XA X Acceleration API (Required for VMware 3D Driver).
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-shared-glapi</option>: This switch enables building
of the shared glapi library.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-shared-dricore</option>: This switch enables linking
of the DRI modules with shared core DRI routines.
</para>
<para>
<option>--enable-glx-tls</option>: This switch enables TLS support
in GLX.
</para>
<para>
<parameter>--with-gallium-drivers="..."</parameter>: This parameter
controls which Gallium drivers should be built. Available drivers are:
i915, nouveau, r300, r600, swrast and svga. Note that you will need to
remove r300 and r600 from the list if you haven't installed
