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

@Lone_Wolf the latest patch you've included breaks the build now - it got upstreamed 3 hours after the package update here :) https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=f8c4716854ca76c49e5b83fdbe36993deba37908

thx, mradermaxlol. patch for llvm issue removed, now compatible with wayland-git .

NOTE package now conflicts with wayland < 1.14.93 , as earlier wayland versions don't provide wayland_egl .

For now that means you'll have to install wayland-git .

The patch to address the LLVM issue is not needed anymore: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=7e144ace95bc0727301c02ff19f5aa278277f133

*.la files come from libtool, default on arch linux is to remove them during package creation. check your /etc/makepkg.conf , global options section.

Looking into the wayland-git issue

these exist in "mesa"

Thanks for the link , jpapadopoulos I had noticed the build failure but not gotten around to looking for solutions. Given it's passover now, it may take a while before the patch lands in master.

Uploaded new version of mesa-git with this patch added. will do lib32-mesa-git soon also.

Mesa needs this patch to build atm. https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/213931/ It seems likely this will be merged soon though

Lone_Wolf commented on 2018-03-15 15:21 (UTC)

I've done some investigating on my own and have removed valgrind as makedep from my libdrm-git packages. mesa-git now again detects libdrm without needing valgrind, so i've removed valgrind also from this package.

haagch commented on 2018-03-14 11:50 (UTC)

Yea this package has not been updated in a long time. I take your word for it that the PKGBUILD works and updated it. I only commented out the debug and !strip options.
