[Mesa-users] problems building osmesa

[burlen]

Hi All,

I've had some problems building OSMesa on both Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 
12.04. Both systems the same exact thing comes up, configure looks fine, 
running make goes into what looks like an infinite loop. configuring 
again, and again and again...never compiles anything. I assume I'm 
hitting this because I'm using some rare combination of configure 
options, here they are:

./configure --prefix=/work/PV/apps/Mesa-9.0.3 --enable-shared 
--disable-static --enable-texture-float --enable-osmesa 
--with-osmesa-bits=32 --disable-gallium-llvm --disable-dri --disable-egl 
--with-gallium-drivers=swrast

Does that look right? What's the easiest way to build standalone OSMesa?

between each configure in the infinite loop a complaint about missing 
aclocal(below). In response I installed autoconf and and then automake, 
yet more errors follow and it looks as through it's attempting to 
regenerate all the make files. That's not what I expected, and I didn't 
expect to have to use autoconf at all, is it now required?
