[Dri-devel] Build & use DRI drivers directly from Mesa

[Keith Whitwell]

I've committed a patch to allow people to build DRI drivers directly in Mesa 
CVS.  There are still a couple of gotchas, so I'm going to give some build 
instructions here:

1) Update your mesa CVS...

2) Ensure you have a checkout of DRM cvs somewhere.
3) Edit <MesaCVS>/config/linux-dri to set DRM_SOURCE_PATH to point to the DRM 
cvs tree.

4) In <MesaCVS>, type: make linux-dri
	-- This should (hopefully) build the *_dri.so files and place them in 
<MesaCVS>/lib

To use the drivers:

1) export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=<MesaCVS>/lib

and then go off and run some demos to check.

I've tested a few things such as quake, tuxracer and the Mesa demos, and all 
seems well.  Additionally, I've verified that DRI cvs continues to build.

Hopefully, we can start a new 'stable' Mesa branch shortly, import that into 
DRI CVS so that we can stop worrying about breaking the DRI build with every 
Mesa change.  Then, driver development can continue in the Mesa tree, the DRI 
tree will host DDX and integration development and receive periodic snapshots 
into xc/extras/Mesa, as it used to.
