Hmmm... please submit this as a bug, there's a -lOSMesa missing. I'm going to fix the makefiles, so I'm going to stumble across this, probably. > There are other bins in the mesademos/demos/ directory, which `make > clean' does not get rid of (and there's no target `distclean'). > This, I assume, is a problem with the upstream Makefile, not > Branden's customizations.

For me the demos are more valuable as source code, since only a fraction of them are interesting from a end-user's point of view. > I understand shipping in source-only; that makes a lot of sense to a > DRI user like myself The demos themselves are not tied to the Direct Rendering Infrastructure. They are OpenGL demos, and only a handful are specific to Mesa. All of them run with software rendering, now that the glide-specific demos are no longer being shipped. > But compressed?

Like I said, IMO in this case source is more important than binaries. I considered shipping everything as single files, in ../mesademos/examples/ or something like that, but then I would have to compress the individual files (c.f. Policy), which is no better than having to unpack the tarred sources. > Against whom do I file my d-n-c bug and my wishlist bug, respectively? d-n-c? You lost me. Oh, does-not-compile. I hope you don't mean that as in 'serious' because it will be automatically downgraded to normal once I get it. mesademos, on both accounts. -- Marcelo
