Hi Friends,

I have a lot of confusion on what comes first with this install.

1-Build and install libva  "You must build libva first without EGL and GLX support" How is this done?

2- Build and install Mesa

3- Build Libva but do not install ?


Hello! I think the "without EGL and GLX support" might actually be redundant now, the switches for those come up unrecognized for me. What you'll want to do is the following:

1 - build libva
2 - Build Mesa
3 - Rebuild libva (and most certainly install it)


Otherwise, you won't get any hardware acceleration support on most video chipsets

I have built 8.0 , 8.1 , 8.3, and 8.4 and run into some issues down the line with glu.h not found. And problems with

QT-5  and VLC . Don't know if its related or not.

At least for the 'glu.h' issues, make sure that GLU (it's in Chapter 25: X Libraries) is installed. A long time ago, it was included with Mesa. I don't recall when that changed, it was soon after I started as an editor on BLFS (2015-ish).
