[SOLVED] Question about libva install in mesa 8.4 systemd build

rabidlinux · 07-31-2019, 08:20 PM

Hi Friends,
I think I been doing something wrong when it comes to installing Mesa and libva. I'm lost about this:

libva-2.4.0 (to build drivers for supported hardware, note that there is a circular dependency. You must build libva first without EGL and GLX support, install this package, and rebuild libva.) What is EGL AND GLX and what should I do? I have been having trouble later on when get to printers install because freeglut fails because it says glu missing.
Thanks for your time and help,
Danny

For me,it was a long time ago. I don't remember it well. But I think, you should just do,

- Install libva
- Install mesa
- Re-install libva

Hey Nobutarou that may be the best way. I will know when I get to printer install and mupdf as of now all media plugins installed with no issue.

There are several circular dependencies in the low level / legacy graphics stack. This is how I build them,
packages prefixed with a + indicate a rebuild / reinstall...

Code:

freetype, fontconfig, wayland, wayland-protocols

x.org: util-macros, x11-protocol, libXau, libXdmcp, xcb-proto, libxcb,
x11-libraries, xcb-util-stack (book order)

2D Acceleration & OpenGL: pixman, cairo, pyxdg (python2 & 3), mako (py3),
libdrm, libva, mesa, graphite2, harfbuzz, fribidi, +freetype, +libva,
intel-vaapi-driver, +cairo, libepoxy

mtdev, libevdev, libinput, xbitmaps, x11-application-stack, xcursor-themes,
x11-legacy-fonts, xkeyboard-config, libxkbcommon, x11-server, xf86-input-libinput,
xf86-video-fbdev, xf86-video-<MY-CARD> xterm, xclock, xinit

terminus-x11, ttf: cantarell,dejavu,freefont,noto,liberation,etc., pango, openbox

rebuild for x11 hooks: +systemd, +dbus

That gets you the basic setup with an xterm, clock and window manager. You're setup to go from this point to build any or all of the avaiable toolkit stacks for desktops: EFL, GTK+, Qt. My startx opens a single xterm and xclock for running make checks on subseqent packages like GTK+ 2.25, etc. My xinitrc...

Code:

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/app-defaults/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/app-defaults/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

exec openbox &
xclock -d -brief -twelve -geometry 90x35+0+0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x40+120+0 -name login
