 Mesa - Default branch
Section: Unix

About:
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface). Mesa cannot be called an implementation of OpenGL since the author did not obtain an OpenGL license from SGI. Furthermore, Mesa cannot claim OpenGL conformance since the conformance tests are only available to OpenGL licensees. Despite these technical/legal terms, you may find Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL. Most applications written for OpenGL can use Mesa instead without changing the source code.

[»] 5.0.2
by Mark Lindner - Nov 6th 2003 11:21:48

Looks like 5.0.2 wasn't tested too thoroughly. On RH7.2, libtool script dies with a syntax error, configure doesn't perform all Makefile.in substitutions properly, etc.

Don't use RPM, be a real man and compile from source.

    Oh, yes; timecop bitching again.

    There's certainly a problem if common requires the base but since you will install them both, install them with the same command. This way all dependencies get filled.

    Elementary... =)

      He is right.
      There are really rare cases where rpm packages
      should depends on each other causing
      a circular dependecy.

      This is a packaging bug.

      The best thing to do is to write your own rpm spec
      file and compile it. 8)

[»] circular rpm dependencies problem
by Jason Hudgins (Incantations Media Group) - Aug 18th 2000 16:42:15

Mesa-common-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm requires
Mesa-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm to install...
BUT
Mesa-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm requires requires
Mesa-common-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm to install.

solution:
rpm --install --nodeps Mesa-common-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm
rpm --install Mesa-3.2.1-1rh61.i386.rpm
