Building and using mesa for development and testing

This explains how to build mesa from source, and how to use the custom built mesa to run some apps and games, without needing to replace the mesa libraries that your operating system runs on.

Let's assume that you are using an x86_64 system.

Install dependencies

This is how to install them on Fedora. You can substitute with other distros' package managers, the packages are named similarly but maybe have a different naming convention (eg. -dev vs. -devel, etc.).

NOTICE: This guide is no longer relevant, as a lot has changed over time and Go supports Apple Silicon natively just fine now!

Compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1)

Follow these short instructions on how to compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1). From here on out, we may simply refer to it as the "ARM device".

This entire process should only take about 5-10 minutes, but please read through everything carefully, in order to avoid any potential issues along the way.

Note that at the time of writing this, Go was not yet officially available for Apple's ARM.

#OpenSSL cheat sheet This is a brief howto for socket programmers.

create RSA key pairs

ex: 1024bits length key pair:

$> openssl genrsa -out myprivate.pem 1024
$> openssl rsa -in myprivate.pem -pubout -out mypublic.pem

	# A simple script to build 64-bit and 32-bit Mesa and libdrm on amd64 Debian
	# stable, Debian testing, Debian unstable, and possibly some Ubuntu versions
	# with some tweaks.
	#
	# libdrm is build too, because often version right now in Debian sid and experimental
	# is too old for current mesa git repo. Also it is nice to build debug
	# versions of libdrm when troubleshooting some crashes and bugs.
	#

	#!/bin/bash

	# Builds Wine-staging

	# Notes:
	# 1. Targeted for usage inside a VM (use shared directory $HOME/mnt/vmshare between host and guest).
	# 2. You'd need to separately push the result on the host to whatever location you want (like to /opt).
	# 3. Place any manual patches in ${HOME}/build/patches
	# 4. Override arch to something else if you aren't using Ryzen.
