Precompiled Libraries
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Mesa does not provide precompiled libraries; that job is left in the hands of
|
|
the Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
Most distributions pre-install Mesa along with the rest of the graphical user
|
|
interface, so you probably already have it installed, and applying your
|
|
updates regularly is all you need to do.
|
|
If not, searching for ``mesa`` in your package manager should return the relevant
|
|
packages (most distributions split the project into multiple packages, you
|
|
probably don't need all of them).
|
|
Be aware that other projects might also include that name. As always, pay
|
|
attention to what you install.
|
|
|
|
Some distributions (eg. Debian & Ubuntu and their derivatives) usually package
|
|
very old versions of software, which are often not supported by their projects
|
|
anymore. The current release version is visible near the top of our `homepage
|
|
<https://mesa3d.org>`__. If you have any issues (unsupported hardware, bugs,
|
|
missing features, performance issues, etc.) the first thing you should try is
|
|
to install that version.
|
|
|
|
Some distributions also provide unofficial packages for unreleased Mesa, but note
|
|
that those might break your system. Before installing one of those, make sure
|
|
you know how to recover if you can't get a graphical session anymore.

Debug packages
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Most distributions provide debug packages that contain among other things the
|
|
symbols corresponding to the precompiled package they provide.
|
|
|
|
Installing them will allow you to see the symbol (functions, variables, etc.)
|
|
names in situations like a backtrace.
|
|
**If you want to report an issue, we recommend installing these packages first
|
|
as these symbols allow us to know what is going on.**
