The defacto method to rebuild the autotools and run the generated
configure is an autogen.sh script. It is much more discoverable than the
custom `make configure' used here. The Makefile targets are still useful
for creating tarballs, though. This autogen.sh is copied from Xorg.
The conditional in src/mesa/Makefile currently hardcodes the cases where
libOSMesa can be built on libGL. Likewise, the xlib case always includes
libOSMesa in the stand-alone target.
This changes the conditional to a loop over the DRIVER_DIRS variable.
This means that any driver configuration can enable or disable osmesa.
The current "stand-alone" rule is changed so that DRIVER_DIRS=x11 and
DRIVER_DIRS="x11 osmesa" are both respected.
The configure option is changed to --enable-gl-osmesa as this change
allows libOSMesa to be built upon any of the libGL-enabling drivers.
Just like configs/default, the version number in configure.ac needs to
be bumped for releases. Maybe later we can figure out how to scrape the
version from configs/default into configure.ac.
Two new configure options to add -m32 or -m64 to the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
when GCC is in use. By default, the user supplied options are
environment variables are respected, but these options are quick helps
for the common case of x86/x86_64 using GCC.
Most of the options available from configure are documented on the
autoconf.html. This page is reached as an alternative provided on the
install.html page. An FAQ about why there is no configure script has
been removed.
