If someone finds a way to use it with Porteus, it would be great. I tried, but it freezes DE inputs as soon as it loads.

If arch mesa lib is valuable to eval,
you can use the modules converted from arch in Porteus 3.2.2.
These were tested by Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso running.
mesa-from-arch.tar (21 M)

md5sum: 54c214595de6f895acd2c4f9a7155219 mesa-from-arch.tar
Code: Select all
$ tar -tf mesa-from-arch.tar
mesa-x86_64.xzm
wayland-1.13.0-x86_64-1.xzm
Thanks.

Thanks,
neko. I followed exactly this approach, so your module, like mine, is a copy from Arch's Mesa build.
But after figuring out
wayland missing lib, I'm facing now an error when trying to execute any OpenGL app (
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so). However using the old
libGL together with the new
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so it works flawlessly and
glxinfo tells me that I'm currently using Mesa 17.0.1. So maybe
libGL is just a collection of OpenGL extensions pointing to the real drivers found inside
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri/

You can still use Mesa 11 or 13 or 17.0.0

I guess that the library missing problem was caused from directory array difference.
/usr/lib64, /lib64 are assigned to /usr/lib in Arch.
Therefore there is a possility that setting symbolic link as following may avoid this issue.
Code: Select all
% su
# cd /
# ln -sf /usr/lib64 /usr/lib
Thanks.

Oh, yeah! I'm aware of this, thanks. My module is Porteus ready.
