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

I get this error while building: https://0x0.st/X3Hu.txt

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Lone_Wolf commented on 2024-09-15 21:04 (UTC)

@rpi2 : No idea what that error means.

Only build error I encountered today was repo directx-headers being to old.

Since this isn't the first time mesa-git requires a newer directx-headers version then repos provide, measa-git now makedepends on directx-headers-git .

@Billli11: omx-bellagio has been removed as dep.

rpi2 commented on 2024-09-15 02:07 (UTC)

14/sep build,VK_ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR error, what is this?

Lone_Wolf commented on 2024-09-11 09:38 (UTC)

Correct, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/30865 removes all code related to Open Max (omx) .

omx-bellagio is no longer needed by this package. It's a minor issue and will be removed from dep array next time an update is needed.

Billli11 commented on 2024-09-11 04:54 (UTC)

Shouldn't the depend libomxil-bellagio also be remove?
I don't see any source file include it's header.

@yurikoles I read what they answered me, but I didn't understand what paru means

Lone_Wolf commented on 2024-09-10 13:27 (UTC)

A clean chroot is a separate archlinux installation where only necessary packages are installed. Whatever is installed on the system the chroot is started from doesn't matter.

IF certain conditions are met, llvm-minimal-git can be build with makepkg and doesn't need to be build in a clean chroot.

In case you're not certain if your system meets those conditions, just build llvm-minimal-git in a clean chroot.

@Lone_Wolf I don't fully understand that, are you saying that having those packages installed while building llvm-minimal can cause problems? I was previously just asking if llvm needs to be built inside of the clean chroot like mesa
