Surprisingly, I only could compile glproto, when I tried to compile xorg-xserver it complained about a missing library (gl > 9.2), which I could not find at all, not even on my system where xorg-xserver 1.15 is already installed an running fine. So, it would be nice if anyone can enlighten me on what I am doing wrong here.

*smiles* thats quite interesting tobi. i didnt expact that one.
well that without dri3 i think it is.. isnt it?

ill think i leave this unsolved for now.

I have compiled it with DRI3, so I don't think that that is the problem. I will have to do some research on this, but time is scarce here and will be for some time, so I appreciate any help.

@moisespedro: How did you set it up, which hardware are you using and what exactly is slow (3D/2D/video acceleration, ...).

My mesa.SlackBuild, I have a FX6300 and a radeon 6670 I don't know if it is related to it or not but I am not exactly happy with Slackware performance since I started to tinker it.

Have you tried to use a more stripped down version of Mesa to see if one of the options is causing the slow down? Also, what exactly is slow?

hendrickxm · 04-04-2014, 04:02 AM

I am unable to compile mesa without --disable-dri3. It keeps complaining about xshmfence and I can't seem to find a slackbuild for libxshmfence or make one myself that works.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found PhantomX's slackbuild and that did the trick.

BTW this is how my Mesa slackbuild looks like. I have not yet tested any of iet, since I am in the process of rebuilding my slackware install.
I also have llvm-3.4 and updated all available libs.

Often I am with just Firefox and Skype open and the system hangs with simple tasks like opening a link, switching tabs, reading a new skype message, things like that. I have no idea if it is related to mesa.

moisespedro · 04-04-2014, 10:30 AM

Well, I tried modifying my script and I even tried yours but then I get the missing libelf thing error. I give up for now, will leave it this way.

link please? for easy finding and documentation.

moisespedro · 04-04-2014, 02:49 PM

I seriously don't know what to do anymore, I am considering a reinstall :/ I broke something I think

moisespedro · 04-04-2014, 03:18 PM

Tobi, there is something wrong with your package/script. All the files get installed under /usr/local/lib.

hadack · 04-04-2014, 03:33 PM

the libelf problem can be fixed by adding

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libelf" \

before

CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \

I'm not sure but I think that dri3 is not used by radeon and only intel supports it.

Stuferus · 04-05-2014, 07:20 AM

you are right hadack.. i googled it and only intel supports dri3.. so we could make --disable-dri3 a standard. atleast if no intel user want it but i think/hope in this thread are as of now only nvidia/radeon users.

maybe if we do a nice job, pat can take this for the next version.

libxshmfence is part of the X11 tree and can be build with the standard x11 Slackbuild:

Code:

x11.Slackbuild lib libxshmfence

Which of them?

moisespedro · 04-06-2014, 07:37 AM

The one for mesa

You are correct, I somehow missed that. This could also explain why building the Xserver package fails with missing libraries, since they aren't where they should be. Only thing is: The prefix is specified correctly, so I have no clue why this is happening. For now I have removed the packages, but let the sources/scripts in place, so that people can experiment with this.
Time is still scarce here, so it will take some time for me to come up with a solution, any help is still welcome.
