General Usage

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification, a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. The installed package offers full OpenGL, OpenGL ES, GLX, GLU, GLEW, and OsMesa support.

You may access GLU headers and library using the environment variables: $MESAGLU_INCDIR, $MESAGLU_LIBDIR You may access GLEW headers and library using the environment variables: $GLEW_INCDIR, $GLEW_LIBDIR

The following environmental variables have been defined:

  • $MESA_ROOT has been set to the root of the mesa installation
  • $MESA_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
  • $MESA_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files

You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -I$MESA_INCDIR

and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):

  • -L$MESA_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$MESA_LIBDIR
