I am having difficulties compiling the DRI tree on my redhat 8.0 system
running kernel 2.4.20-28 and XFree86 Red Hat Linux release 4.2.1-23. I
have been able to configure my video chip "845gl" for a decent
resolution, however I do not have hardware acceleration so I figured I
would give compiling and installing the dri a shot. I downloaded the dri
cvs source and configured my kernel as per the dri compilation guide.
The dri kernel module for my system "i810" fails to build and I receive
the following errors in the world log.
make[3]: Entering directory `/dev/dri-cvs/build/xc/include/GL' make[3]: *** No rule to make target
`/X11R6/SourceForge/Mesanew/Mesa-newtree/include/GL/gl.h', needed by
`gl.h'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/dev/dri-cvs/build/xc/include/GL' make[2]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/dev/dri-cvs/build/xc/include' make[1]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/dev/dri-cvs/build/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2
Contrary to what the FAQ and the compilation guide say, you need to have Mesa *source* installed on your system. xc/xc/config/cf/host.def needs to reference the Mesa source tree. We're in the process of changing the way DRI drivers and infrastructure are built, so Mesa & DRI are going through a bit of a transitional phase. That's why the documentation and reality are out of sync. Sorry for the trouble.
I hope this is the correct forum to post this question. If there is a
more elegant solution to my issue I would be more than happy to hear
about it.
Actually, dri-devel would be much better. There are quite a few DRI developers that read that list that do not read this one.
