Since version 2.3, Mesa is distributed in two pieces: main library code
|
|
|
|
and demos. If you're upgrading from a previous version of Mesa or you're not
|
|
|
|
interested in the demos you can just download the core Mesa archive file.

|
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Mesa is available in at least three archive formats:
