Last stable release: <b>7.0.2</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Primary download site:
|
|
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3"

Mesa is distributed in several parts:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
|
|
and documentation.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
|
|
Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
|
|
<a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut"
|
|
target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
|
|
<a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
|
|
<a href="http://openglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
|
|
with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
|
|
package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
|
|
Other sites might offer additional package formats.
