<TITLE>Getting Mesa</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mesa.css"></head>
<BODY>
<H1>Downloading</H1>
<p>
Current development release: <b>7.1</b>
<br>
Last stable release: <b>7.0.4</b>
</p>
<p>
Primary download site:
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3"
target="_parent">SourceForge</a>
</p>
<p>
When a new release is coming, release candidates (betas) can be found
<a href="http://www.mesa3d.org/beta/">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
Mesa is distributed in several parts:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
and documentation.
</li>
<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
<a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut"
target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
<a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
<a href="http://openglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
</li>
<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
package.
</p>
<p>
If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages.
</p>
<p>
The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
Other sites might offer additional package formats.
</p>
<H1>Unpacking</H1>
<p>
All the packages should be in the same directory prior to unpacking.
</p>
<ul>
<li>To unpack .tar.gz files:
<pre>
tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
tar zxf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz
</pre>
or
<pre>
gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
gzcat MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
</pre>
or
<pre>
gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar
gunzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar
</pre>
<li>To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
<pre>
bunzip2 -c MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
bunzip2 -c MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
bunzip2 -c MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
</pre>
<li>To unpack .zip files:
<pre>
unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
unzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.zip
</pre>
</ul>
<h1>Contents</h1>
<p>
After unpacking you'll have these files and directories (among others):
</p>
<pre>
Makefile - top-level Makefile for most systems
configs/ - makefile parameter files for various systems
include/ - GL header (include) files
bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
docs/ - documentation
src/ - source code for libraries
src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
src/glu - libGLU source code
src/glx - sources for building libGL with full GLX and DRI support
src/glw - Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
</pre>
If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaDemos.X.Y package:
<pre>
progs/demos - original Mesa demos
progs/xdemos - GLX OpenGL/Mesa demos
progs/redbook - examples from the OpenGL Programming Guide
progs/samples - examples from SGI
progs/images/ - image files
</pre>
If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaGLUT.X.Y package:
<pre>
src/glut - GLUT library source code
</pre>
<p>
Proceed to the <a href="install.html">compilation and installation
instructions</a>.
