--- Begin Message ---Source: mesa Version: 26.2.1-4 Severity: important Tags: patch, arch Dear Maintainer, EGL is disabled by the Debian Mesa packaging on ppc64. Without EGL enabled, Mesa does not work correctly on ppc64. In particular, the resulting Mesa installation is not usable for normal EGL-based graphics applications. I have tested this on real ppc64 hardware (PowerPC 970/iMac G5). Adding the following to debian/rules fixes the problem: ``` ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), ppc64) confflags += -Degl=enabled endif ``` With this change, Mesa 26.2.1 builds successfully and the resulting Mesa installation works correctly on ppc64. The attached patch, mesa-egl-ppc64.patch, adds this ppc64-specific configuration. Please enable EGL when building Mesa for ppc64.

OK, thanks for the verification! Did you investigate the FTBFS then? I haven't looked at it yet. Adrian -- .''`.
