We dropped support for hardware macOS drivers in afe134a49c ("asahi: Drop macOS
backend"), so drop the corresponding documentation. Layered and software drivers
are still supported on macOS for better or worse, so the main "Notes on macOS"
page can stay I think.

Mesa builds on macOS without modifications. However, there are some details to
|
|
be aware of.
|
|
|
|
- Mesa has a number of build-time dependencies. Most dependencies, including
|
|
Meson itself, are available in `homebrew <https://brew.sh>`__, which has a
|
|
Mesa package for reference. The exception seems to be Mako, a Python module
|
|
used for templating, which you can install as ``pip3 install mako``.
|
|
- macOS is picky about its build-time environment. Type ``brew sh`` before
|
|
building to get the Homebrew dependencies in your path.
|
|
|
|
Mesa's default builds with the Apple GLX uses Mesa as a front for the
|
|
hardware-accelerated system OpenGL framework, to provide hardware acceleration
|
|
to X11 applications on macOS running via XQuartz.
|
|
|
|
Mesa's software rasterizers also work on macOS. To build, set the build options
|
|
``-Dosmesa=true -Dglx=xlib`` and select an appropriate Gallium software
|
|
rasterizer.
