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.

Build Mesa from git and libdrm git for Debian. amdgpu build 64-bit and 32-bit for Debian stable, testing and unstable, and possibly Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, etc. No root required. (well sudo to install some build dependencies required tho). Currently a bit borked on Debian stable (requires newer meson).

| # 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 | |
