Building and exporting libgbm from the mesa package

[Ilyes Gouta]

Hi,

Any reasons on why libgbm isn't being built and packaged in the
current mesa SPEC file? libgbm is a dependency for wayland-demos.

The --enable-gbm configure option depends on --enable-shared-glapi. Is
there any constraint?

Hi,

This is to reboot the discussion about: why not also building the
libgbm part of Mesa in Fedora?

Having it would make it easier to test Wayland and friends. Any
reasons on why not having it so far?

Thorsten Leemhuis has very graciously stepped up to bring F17's Mesa and
Wayland packaging up to date:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2244/mesa-8.0.1-2.fc1...

It was great, he showed up with patches and I said "yeah those look
fine" and then he committed them.  I wish I got more drive-by
contributions like that.

Cool! That's what I want to be part of, too :)

Could these be installed on a Fedora 16?

Thanks,

F16 is still on Mesa 7.11.x because Mesa 8.0 drops the DRI1 drivers.
Which means I don't intend to do any work on F16 beyond keeping up with
the 7.11 branch.

That said, Mesa 8 should build and install fine on F16 (I think, you
might need new libdrm too), and if someone really wanted to adapt the
Mesa packaging for F16 to install what wayland needs I guess that's a
thing they can do.
