[Mesa-users] problems building osmesa

[burlen]

Hi,

I finally got it to build. there were a couple of issues: needed to 
install autoconf, automake, and libtool. This is my fault for not being 
very familiar with mesa's build process and/or autotools. On the other 
hand since the build depends on autoconf, automake and libtool maybe the 
configure step could error out if those aren't found? I would have found 
that helpful.

the following is what worked

autoreconf -fi && ./configure --prefix=/home/bloring/apps/Mesa-9.1.1 
--enable-shared --disable-static --enable-texture-float --enable-osmesa 
--with-osmesa-bits=32 --disable-gallium-llvm --disable-dri --disable-egl 
--disable-glx --with-gallium-drivers= --with-dri-drivers=
