282. Mesa 9.0.1 (64 bit) on debian wheezy

This post is intended as a step towards building wine with libOSmesa. Apparently any version of libOSmesa lower than 9 is no good, and debian wheezy currently have version 8.

Unfortunately building the 32 bit version turns out to be more complex than just requesting it via --enable-32-bit, so I'll be making a post on a chrooted build of the missing wine libraries later. I've also noticed that libOSMesa is just a small part of Mesa -- this build overlaps a lot with mesa-common-dev as well.

Finally, I don't really have a good grasp over graphics on linux -- which means that I'm still confused by OpenGl, CL, Mesa etc.

UPDATE (10th Jan 2013): See here for Wine 1.5.21 using the multiarch approach: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/308-compiling-wine-1521-on-debian.html

As usual: I have a lot of packages installed on my standard compile node, so there are probably a lot of packages which are needed which I didn't notice. But here we go:

---

First you need to build e.g. libdrm 2.4.40 since wheezy and sid currently have v2.4.33 and you need 2.4.39 or newer.

sudo apt-get install libpciaccess-dev checkinstall
wget http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/snapshot/libdrm-2.4.40.tar.gz
tar xvf libdrm-2.4.40.tar.gz
cd libdrm-2.4.40/
./autogen 
make
sudo checkinstall

When you're asked for a description, type 'libdrm 2.4.40' and it should get the version number right.
(you could also build with --prefix and install it somewhere else but that makes things trickier later)

Make sure it installed correctly:

aptitude show libdrm
Package: libdrm                          
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 2.4.40-1
Priority: extra
Section: checkinstall
Maintainer: root@beryllium
Architecture: amd64
Uncompressed Size: 733 k
Description: libdrm 2.4.40

---

Build OS mesa v.9.0.1.

sudo apt-get install flex bison libdrm-dev xutils-dev x11proto-gl-dev x11proto-dri2-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-dri2-0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev llvm automake
cd ~/tmp
wget ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/9.0.1/MesaLib-9.0.1.tar.gz
tar xvf MesaLib-9.0.1.tar.gz
cd Mesa-9.0.1/
./autogen.sh --enable-osmesa
make
sudo checkinstall

This package will be built according to these values: 

0 -  Maintainer: [ root@beryllium ]
1 -  Summary: [ Mesa 9.0.1 64 bit]
2 -  Name:    [ mesa ]
3 -  Version: [ 9.0.1 ]
4 -  Release: [ 1 ]
5 -  License: [ GPL ]
6 -  Group:   [ checkinstall ]
7 -  Architecture: [ amd64 ]
8 -  Source location: [ Mesa-9.0.1 ]
9 -  Alternate source location: [  ]
10 - Requires: [  ]
11 - Provides: [ mesa ]
12 - Conflicts: [  ]
13 - Replaces: [  ]

Some notes:
xutils-dev contains makedepend; x11proto-gl-dev is GLPROTO, x11proto-dri2-dev is DRI2PROTO
LLVM is needed for one step in the build process (gallium). I'm sure you can get around it, but I'm not too bothered.
