[Mesa-users] Building Mesa 10 for software rendering support only

[Rick Irons]

Thanks.

I ended up trying Mesa 9.2.5 with the following command...

./configure --enable-xlib-glx --disable-driglx-direct --disable-dri

I get an error about the Radeon package version not meeting the minimum version.  Is there a way to disable the Radeon package version check?  I am not interested in supporting any drivers other than software.

Thanks,
Rick

Try this:

./autogen.sh --enable-xlib-glx --disable-driglx-direct --disable-dri make
