removed obsolete options, build now works again.

building opencl clover is disabled for now, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11863

Those that need opencl should use rusticl instead. Note that rusticl at runtime is disabled by default, see https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html#rusticl-environment-variables for info about enabling it.

Mesa and llvm are closely tied together. Everytime the llvm mesa is built against changes/updates , mesa needs to be rebuilt.

I expect anyone building mesa-git against one of the llvm trunk variants to be able to do that themselves, but atleast some of the people that built against repo llvm don't understand how to deal with such a rebuild.

The rest of this post is meant for those people.

  • Verify if latest PKGBUILD requirements match llvm repo versions.
  • If they don't , post to alert the maintainer of this.
  • DELAY the update of llvm/clang suite and their lib32- counterparts
  • Once the PKGBUILD does match, download it.

Option A - best one

  • run pacman -Syu to ensure your system is in sync with your mirrror server
  • build mesa-git in a clean chroot

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot for the official way or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clean-chroot-manager for an alternative method.

  • install the newly built mesa-git
  • run pacman -Syu
  • ready

Option B - 2nd best

  • revert to repo mesa
  • pacman -Syu
  • build mesa-git
  • switch from mesa to mesa-git
  • ready

  • choosing which llvm variant to build against

WARNING : aur helpers don't support this method at all. They check .SRCINFO and that doesn't include this variable so it will use the default which is hardcoded to build against repo llvm.

Why would I want to use llvm development versions ?

For full functionality and latest features mesa trunk master needs to be build against llvm trunk master.
If you build against stable llvm things MAY work, but you're likely to lack some features and face stability issues.

Mesa-git uses a custom environment variable MESA_WHICH_LLVM for flexibility.
It has 4 values.
1 : aur llvm-minimal-git
2 : aur llvm-git
3: llvm-git from LordHeavy' unofficial repo
4: llvm from extra repo

I use value 1 95% of the time and set this in ~/.bash_rc .
If MESA_WHICH_LLVM is unset or empty, the default value of 4 (extra llvm) is used.

  • main difference with stable repo package
[extra]mesa is a split package, but aur mesa-git isn't.
Basically with aur mesa-git you get everything in one package, while [extra]/mesa allows you to leave out some parts if you don't want/need them.
Having a single package reduces maintenance and makes switching from stable to mesa-git rather easy, though reverting back to stable can be tricky.
  • meson settings
Those who compare PKGBUILDs will notice I don't use arch-meson, but meson setup.
I disagree with some of the settings made by arch-meson (especially the buildtype and enabling LTO by default) and feel using meson setup is cleaner.
  • how to update

run pacman Syu update non-repo packages for llvm if you use them

build mesa-git, log out , update mesa-git and restart X .

run glxinfo -B to verify basic OpenGL functionality

build lib32-mesa-git

run glxinfo32 -B to verify basic OpenGL functionality for multilib programs

It might be a good idea to add --depth 1 to the git command in PKGBUILD so as to reduce the number of objects being pulled from the repository to the necessary minimum.

Huulivoide commented on 2011-04-15 18:07 (UTC)

Floating point texture support has been merged to mainline, and canbe found under --enable-texture-float swich. As this is patended feature not everyone will want it. But could you add something like: echo "Do you want to enable patented features? y/n" read answer if [[ "$answer" == "y" ]]; then patented="--enable-texture-float"; fi ... configure ... $patented so that people could easily enable it and get info that it exist in there :D

When i have the libtxc_dxtn will that packge build with it?

Lone_Wolf commented on 2011-03-30 15:18 (UTC)

I have had problems with the r600 gallium driver since it became the standard in arch mesa 7.10.1 package. Neither the radeon repository nor other mesa git packages solved the problem, so i decided to create my own. I started with the official PKGBUILD for mesa 7.10.1 , removed the parts i don't need and combined what i do need into 1 package. Notes : - libdrm 2.4.24 is currently in the testing repo. - package has only been tested on x86_64, that is why i didn't put i686 in arch. - only useful for Radeon HD 2/3/4/5/6xxx videocards. (my own card is a HD 4890).

Fixed, thanks.

In: package_libegl-git() { depends=('libgl-git') conflicts=('libegl-git') provides=("libegl=${_mesaver}") pkgdesc="Mesa libEGL libraries and headers" conflicts=('libegl-git') should be 'libegl'.

MuPuF commented on 2011-03-08 09:32 (UTC)

On nouveau, you shouldn't use mesa-git and a 2.6.37 kernel. You would need nouveau's kernel tree. This is just a little warning for those wondering why their games/X-server keep crashing.

tavianator commented on 2011-02-28 19:49 (UTC)

Those changes have been added, and an ugly fix for a nouveau build issue.

Huulivoide commented on 2011-02-27 15:06 (UTC)

Also r600g is now default in repos too

Huulivoide commented on 2011-02-26 15:16 (UTC)

please add --enable-shared-dricore option to configure it will reduce build time about 13%. When enabled, DRI modules will link against a shared copy of the common mesa routines rather than statically linking these. This saves about 30MB on disc with a full complement of classic DRI drivers.
