I am trying to use custom-compiled mesa on my ubuntu.
I know that there are ppa's with already compiled mesa, but for some reason i do not want to use them, and want to compile it myself.
So I dowloaded llvm7, got mesa sources, did
CC=/opt/llvm-7/bin/clang CXX=/opt/llvm-7/bin/clang++ LLVM=/opt/llvm-7 scons build=releaseand compilation seems to be alright.
I got build/linux-x86_64 folder with some stuff.
However, I cannot figure out what to do next.
Guides I found in internet seems to be outdated or I just cannot understand them.
Could you guys show me direction?
sudo apt-get build-dep mesaGot the error
Вы должны заполнить sources.list, поместив туда URI источников пакетов(in Russian, yes. It means I have to fill sources.list by placing URI of package sources there).
Cannot find how to fix that.
Also, in the guide, the author wrote
However, ob Ubuntu there is no 'mesa' package, but bunch of packages like mesa-utils, mesa-common-dev and so on.
Have no idea which configuration I have to use.

Current meson version for 18.04 is 0.45.1 so that should work?
- open "Software & sources" from the menu
- check the "Source code" box
- Close ( & reload )
now
sudo apt build-dep mesawill workHowever meson still can't build on my 18.04 - because libdrm_intel is too old ( need 'libdrm_intel' ['>=2.4.95'] found '2.4.91' )
