-Mesa is distributed in several parts: +The Mesa package is named MesaLib-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} where x.y.z +is the version. There are three types of compressed archives.
--If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first -package. +There's also the MesaGLUT-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip} packages which +contain Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. +This is optional. +Most Linux distributions include an implementation of GLUT (such as freeglut). +
++In the past, the Mesa demos collection was distributed as +MesaDemos-x.y.z.{tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip}. +Now, the + +Mesa demos are distributed separately.
--If you're new to this and not sure what you're doing, grab all three packages. -
- --The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats. -Other sites might offer additional package formats. -
-All the packages should be in the same directory prior to unpacking. +To unpack .tar.gz files:
