Mesa Builder

Scripts to build and deploy Mesa on Ubuntu using chroot.

Builds are deployed to /usr/local-$(git describe --always --tags) by default. /usr/local is converted to a symlink that points to the most recent build.

Configuration

  1. Setup proxy environment if needed:

    • http_proxy
    • https_proxy
    • no_proxy

  2. Configure environment to use the local Mesa build exclusively:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:/usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri
# For Intel; update as needed for other platforms
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json:/usr/local/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.i686.json

    For most deployments, these environment variables should be set in /etc/environment. Restart the user session (or reboot) to apply the changes.

  3. Setup additional mount points in /etc/schroot/default/fstab if needed

Examples

# Use an alternate package mirror
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --mirror http://linux-ftp.intel.com/pub/mirrors/ubuntu

# Build a specific Mesa tag (git SHAs work too)
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --revision mesa-24.3.4

# Build the Intel driver only (N.B. this overrides the default options)
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --options "-Dvulkan-drivers=intel"

# Build with Perfetto support
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --perfetto

# Build without deploying
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --nodeploy

# Install to a temporary directory and don't update the /usr/local path
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH, and VK_ICD_FILENAMES env vars
# MUST be set properly for workloads to utilize this temporary build 
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --nodeploy --install /tmp/mesa-wip

# Build without building deps (fast, but may fail)
~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh --nodeps

# Purge everything and start over
git -C ~/src/mesa clean -fxd && sudo rm -rf /build && rm -rf ~/src/spirv-tools && ~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh

Verify

vulkaninfo --summary | grep driverInfo

Work-arounds

# The build may crash randomly running on heterogenous cores.
# Pinning the build to P-cores works around this:
taskset -c 0-8 ~/src/mesa-builder/mesa-build.sh

# clean up lingering mount points from chroot early termination
sudo find /run/schroot/mount/ \( -name proc -o -name pts -o -name home -o -name sys -o -name dev -o -name tmp -o -name devtmpfs -o -name secondary_store \) -exec umount {} \;
sudo umount /run/schroot/mount/*
