[Mesa-users] Unable to initialize mesasdk in Windows

[Jon Brase]

He's specifically using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Does MESA specifically have issues with WSL, or do you just mean to say that MESA doesn't run in a vanilla Windows environment?
Anyways, two potential problems I see are that his $PATH appears to be missing most of the standard Unix executable directories, except for /bin (perl is failing because /usr/bin is not in $PATH), and that he appears to have the SDK in the directory tree WSL uses to give Linux programs access to the Windows filesystem outside of the WSL environment (/drives, though on my WSL instance the windows drives are mounted under /mnt). There are restrictions on exactly what Linux programs can do with files outside of the WSL environment, though I can't say off the top of my head what they are, and that may be causing problems.

Hi
MESA does not run under windows. Your best bet is to download mesa-docker https://github.com/evbauer/MESA-Docker and follow the instructions there

I am trying to install the new version of MESA and I am getting the attached error statements when I am trying to initialize mesasdk, after I have downloaded and unzipped the mesasdk file. I have tried to install older versions of mesasdk as well (20141212) but the same error message was getting displayed. Below are the sequence of lines.
