That's what I needed to know. > > The current Mesa build definitely works with what's in configs/*, but > > it's not always robust, > > If you've got specific concerns I'm interested in hearing them. It's been a little while since I ran into any errors, but here's a couple things I recall offhand. One thing that's always jumped out is that you need to be pretty familiar with what's going on to get the dependencies in place and set the variables correctly. For instance, linking to libdrm just blindly calls `pkg-config --libs libdrm`. There's no check that this is successful. Also, linking to the correct X location requires setting two seemingly unrelated (and undocumented) variables: X11_INCLUDES and EXTRA_LIB_PATH. Only some concentrated grepping uncovered this. Another thing I just recalled is that I can't pass any LDFLAGS when building the libraries. It would be nice if mklib respected LDFLAGS. -- Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
