Thx, fixed. In the very same paragraph basic compilation instructions are linked. Simply replace the meson call mentioned there by the one from above. Does that mean I should uninstall the packages installed by Fedora via dnf? Do I really have to compile?
Yes, you generate a new library by that. That library is pre-loaded to your application and a) presents a newer OpenGL version to the application and b) translates the OpenGL calls to X-Calls.
So yes to have to compile, but no to the first question on uninstalling?
Install package 'meson' to provide command 'meson'? [N/y] y
- Waiting in queue...
- Loading list of packages.... The following packages have to be installed: meson-0.54.0-1.fc32.noarch High productivity build system ninja-build-1.10.0-1.fc32.x86_64 Small build system with a focus on speed
Looks promising!
Yes I am prompted by Fedora to run this when I ran the meson command. But I'm still not following. I see here https://docs.mesa3d.org/gallium/drivers/llvmpipe.html
scons: *** No SConstruct file found. File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 940, in _main
Then: Alternatively, you can build it with meson with: mkdir build cd build meson -D glx=gallium-xlib -D gallium-drivers=swrast ninja
So is this the meson command that I should replace with: meson -D glx=gallium-xlib -D gallium-drivers=swrast -D platforms=x11 -D dri3=false -D dri-drivers="" -D vulkan-drivers="" -D buildtype=release -D optimization=3
I still get ERROR: Must specify at least one directory name.
