removed obsolete options, build now works again.

building opencl clover is disabled for now, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11863

Those that need opencl should use rusticl instead. Note that rusticl at runtime is disabled by default, see https://docs.mesa3d.org/envvars.html#rusticl-environment-variables for info about enabling it.

Mesa and llvm are closely tied together. Everytime the llvm mesa is built against changes/updates , mesa needs to be rebuilt.

I expect anyone building mesa-git against one of the llvm trunk variants to be able to do that themselves, but atleast some of the people that built against repo llvm don't understand how to deal with such a rebuild.

The rest of this post is meant for those people.

  • Verify if latest PKGBUILD requirements match llvm repo versions.
  • If they don't , post to alert the maintainer of this.
  • DELAY the update of llvm/clang suite and their lib32- counterparts
  • Once the PKGBUILD does match, download it.

Option A - best one

  • run pacman -Syu to ensure your system is in sync with your mirrror server
  • build mesa-git in a clean chroot

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot for the official way or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clean-chroot-manager for an alternative method.

  • install the newly built mesa-git
  • run pacman -Syu
  • ready

Option B - 2nd best

  • revert to repo mesa
  • pacman -Syu
  • build mesa-git
  • switch from mesa to mesa-git
  • ready

  • choosing which llvm variant to build against

WARNING : aur helpers don't support this method at all. They check .SRCINFO and that doesn't include this variable so it will use the default which is hardcoded to build against repo llvm.

Why would I want to use llvm development versions ?

For full functionality and latest features mesa trunk master needs to be build against llvm trunk master.
If you build against stable llvm things MAY work, but you're likely to lack some features and face stability issues.

Mesa-git uses a custom environment variable MESA_WHICH_LLVM for flexibility.
It has 4 values.
1 : aur llvm-minimal-git
2 : aur llvm-git
3: llvm-git from LordHeavy' unofficial repo
4: llvm from extra repo

I use value 1 95% of the time and set this in ~/.bash_rc .
If MESA_WHICH_LLVM is unset or empty, the default value of 4 (extra llvm) is used.

  • main difference with stable repo package
[extra]mesa is a split package, but aur mesa-git isn't.
Basically with aur mesa-git you get everything in one package, while [extra]/mesa allows you to leave out some parts if you don't want/need them.
Having a single package reduces maintenance and makes switching from stable to mesa-git rather easy, though reverting back to stable can be tricky.
  • meson settings
Those who compare PKGBUILDs will notice I don't use arch-meson, but meson setup.
I disagree with some of the settings made by arch-meson (especially the buildtype and enabling LTO by default) and feel using meson setup is cleaner.
  • how to update

run pacman Syu update non-repo packages for llvm if you use them

build mesa-git, log out , update mesa-git and restart X .

run glxinfo -B to verify basic OpenGL functionality

build lib32-mesa-git

run glxinfo32 -B to verify basic OpenGL functionality for multilib programs

Sorry, I hadn't seen the comment until now, and mesa git for me compiles without problems with the repository version, but can be better using svn version, but.. the pakbuild of clang svn can be fixed with the addition of dependencies like llvm3.5 and clang 3.5 and the conflicting packages, for me find the problem was very difficult

kerberizer commented on 2015-09-01 19:56 (UTC)

@agm28011997, yes, llvm-svn is required. Mesa development branch typically assumes the latest development LLVM, especially in the context of AMD, where LLVM is an essential part of the driver infrastructure. It makes little sense to use mesa-git with months older LLVM implementation, even if it worked otherwise. As for the alleged error in building llvm-svn, you seem to have completely disregarded the reply I made to your report.

usuariopolivalen commented on 2015-09-01 19:34 (UTC)

for compiling mesa-git is not necessary the dependencies of clang svn and llvm svn, in addition the packages for compile the program are old and in new installations of arch this make error in the compile of clang and llvm

I have taken over mesa-git from krejzi , and will ask to merge this package to that one end of august. Please switch to mesa-git .

AnAkkk commented on 2015-08-06 10:21 (UTC)

Please sync with https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mesa There have been some changes since the last update of this AUR package.

If you are having trouble running Weston/Wayland on your Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller, using the i915 module, see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107499&p=14 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89689 http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/45603/ Patching i965/intel_screen.c and i915/intel_screen.c will allow weston to run normally again. Hopefully, the patch will be applied to the git repository soon.

Found a patch by LordHeavy here : http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/sources/mesa-git/ an osmesa related build bug was worked around by removing a configure option. Will have to see how that affects performance.

Lone_Wolf commented on 2015-03-23 12:34 (UTC)

doesn't build against latest llvm-svn, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89705

altiris commented on 2015-03-22 14:34 (UTC)

@kerberizer Ahh okay...Ill just wait a few more days I guess. TY!

altiris commented on 2015-03-22 14:24 (UTC)

@kerberizer that actually got it working but in the middle of the build process I got configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm_intel >= 2.4.60) were not met: Requested 'libdrm_intel >= 2.4.60' but version of libdrm_intel is 2.4.59 I found the files that contain the requirement and they are /src/configure.ac and configure I can change them to make it 2.4.59 but when I start the build process it puts the overwrites the package.
