Confirming that I compiled mesa git correctly
xuwang Jul 29, 2017
Hi,

I have followed the wonderful guide at

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Building_Mesa_from_source

by our awesome member Shmerl!

However, when I run

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64 EGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/mesa-master/x86_64 vlc

vlc has a segmentation fault. How can I figure out what's wrong? The compilation was successful (i.e. non-zero exit code), and when I export those environment variables in my .profile, most things seem to work. So why does e.g. vlc not work? This makes me think I did something wrong but I have no idea as to how to debug.

Note that I have confirmed (using the 'file' command) that the vlc binary is indeed 64-bit.

Kind regards,

Xu
