Mesa - The 3D Graphics Library

Note

This is OrchardLinux's fork of Mesa, for the GPUs of Apple's A-series chips (A10 first). It is not affiliated with the Mesa project, and none of its changes are proposed upstream. Its src/imagination work (the G9P backend, see src/imagination/g9p/README.md) was written with AI assistance and is labelled so in its commits. Report problems with it at https://github.com/OrchardLinux/mesa, not to Mesa.

Source

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa. Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.

Build & install

You can find more information in our documentation (docs/install.rst), but the recommended way is to use Meson (docs/meson.rst):

$ meson setup build
$ ninja -C build/
$ sudo ninja -C build/ install

Support

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is appropriate, you should ask your question on OFTC's #dri-devel, someone will redirect you if necessary. Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might take a while before someone qualified sees your question. To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your question, check out Who's Who on IRC.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the mailing lists: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org

Bug reports

If you think something isn't working properly, please file a bug report (docs/bugs.rst).

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and step-by-step instructions can be found in our documentation (docs/submittingpatches.rst).

Note that Mesa uses gitlab for patches submission, review and discussions.
