<H1>Downloading / Unpacking</H1>
<p>
Mesa can be downloaded from the
<a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mesa3d" target="_parent">
SourceForge download area</A>.
</p>
<p>
Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code
and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.
</p>
<p>
Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
</p>
<pre>
1. GNU zip/tar
Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
Unpack with:
gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
or
gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
or
tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
If you don't have gzcat try zcat instead.
2. Unix compressed/tar
Download MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z
Unpack with:
zcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
zcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.Z | tar xf -
3. ZIP format
Download MesaLib-X.Y.zip and optionally MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
Unpack with:
unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
</pre>
<p>
After unpacking you'll have these directories (and more):
</p>
<pre>
Makefile.X11 - top-level Makefile for X11-based systems
Make-config - system configurations used by the Makefile.X11
include/ - GL header (include) files
bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
lib/ - final client libraries, created during compilation
docs/ - documentation
src/ - source code for libraries
src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
src/glu - libGLU source code
src/glw - Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
and if you downloaded and unpacked the MesaDemos.X.Y archive:
src/glut - GLUT source code
progs/ - OpenGL programs
progs/demos - original Mesa demos
progs/xdemos - GLX OpenGL/Mesa demos
progs/redbook - examples from the OpenGL Programming Guide
progs/samples - examples from SGI
progs/images/ - image files
</pre>
<p>
Proceed to <a href="install.html">compilation and installation
instructions</a>.
</p>
<H1>GLUT</H1>
<p>
Mesa 2.5 and later includes Mark Kilgard's GLUT library (GL Utility Toolkit).
GLUT is built automatically on systems which support it.
</p>
<p>
The GLUT tests, demos, examples, etc are not included, just the main library.
To obtain the latest complete release of GLUT please visit the
<a href="http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glut/index.html"
