[mesa-users] ./mk Does Not Complie

[Aaron Dotter]

You very likely need to set the MESA_DIR environment variable.  You are
probably trying to compile in mesa/star/work, right?

The makefile within includes the following:

include $(MESA_DIR)/star/work_standard_makefile

If you haven't set MESA_DIR, then it will be empty, '', and you get that
error message.

You can check what it is set to, or if it is set, with the command

printenv MESA_DIR

Rich provides info on how to set environment variables in general, and have
them set automatically when you start a new terminal here:
