However, there are some details to +be aware of. + +- Mesa has a number of build-time dependencies. Most dependencies, including + Meson itself, are available in `homebrew <https://brew.sh>`, which has a + Mesa package for reference. The exception seems to be Mako, a Python module + used for templating, which you can install as `pip3 install mako`. +- macOS's default C compiler doesn't play nice with some C11 idioms used in + Mesa. To workaround, set `-Dc_std=c11`. +- macOS is picky about its build-time environment. Type `brew sh` before + building to get the Homebrew dependencies in your path. + +At the moment, only the software rasterizers are supported on macOS. Stay tuned +for updates here! |
