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

[Rick Irons]

Thanks again.  That avoided the Radeon issue. 

libGLU.so wasn’t built though.  Is this library still provided by Mesa?

Thanks,
Rick

Hmm, with --disable-dri there should be no requirement for a radeon drm version.  I'll try to get that fixed.

Until then, try adding --without-gallium-drivers to your configure command.
