[Mesa-dev] Lets talk about autotools

[Dylan Baker]

You mean you want to change the driver list?

meson builddir
meson configure builddir -Ddri-drivers= -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=radeonsi
ninja -C builddir  # which will trigger a reconfigure

Or was there something else you are trying to do?
