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

Currently there are 3 possibilities for an llvm trunk version

Aur llvm-lw-git (multiple packages, tailored to my workflow)

Aur llvm-git

LordHeavy unofficial mesa-git repo

Thanks for the alert, both mpv & vlc have glslang as (indirect) dependency, so it's present on many systems.

Will add it this weekend.

Program glslangValidator found: NO

src/vulkan/overlay-layer/meson.build:21:0: ERROR:  Program(s) ['glslangValidator'] not found or not executable

A full log can be found at /home/main-builder/pkgwork/src/_build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

Should glslang be added as dependency? EDIT: Yep, adding it solved.

Lone_Wolf commented on 2019-03-27 16:28 (UTC)

vulkan overlay support added, thanks for the reminder.

Haxk20 commented on 2019-03-26 18:07 (UTC)

Lone_Wolf can you please add -D vulkan-overlay-layer=true as a build option ? I use vulkan for gaming a lot and having that overlay helps a lot. Thank you

kmk3 :

The missing pkgconfig-files have no relation with mesa-libgl ( see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110141 if you want to know more)

Maintainers/users that want to replace mesa-libgl as dependency should look at what their package needs. If they just want to be sure there's OpenGL support, depend on libgl .

VanLaser: Good to know that, it may be different soon though.

Another alternative is the llvm-svn packages from lordheavy's binary mesa-git repo.

VanLaser commented on 2019-03-24 13:42 (UTC)

Just a FYI, mesa-git 19.1 seems to build just fine using stock clang, llvm and llvm-libs packages instead of the *-svn AUR versions.

Hello, wine-staging-pba[1] requires mesa-libgl, which is provided by mesa but not by mesa-git. When looking at the contents of both packages, only pkgconfig-related files are missing from mesa-git (compared to mesa). Is this correct? Which library exactly qualifies as mesa-libgl?

I see these in both packages:

usr/lib/libglapi.so
usr/lib/libglapi.so.0
usr/lib/libglapi.so.0.0.0

And these in libglvnd:

usr/lib/libGL.so
usr/lib/libGL.so.1
usr/lib/libGL.so.1.7.0

That "errno 13" issue has been fixed upstream.

At least, I was getting the issue and I've just managed to update both lib32-mesa-git and mesa-git with zero problems and the last comment in the bugtracker shows it has been fixed.

Lone_Wolf commented on 2019-03-21 13:11 (UTC)

Issue has already been reported by another arch user, see

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110211
