[Mesa-users] Using MESASDK w/o X11 package

[Rob Farmer]

Hi
To disable needing X11 libraries you would need to edit
$MESA_DIR/utils/makefile_header

and replace:

USE_PGSTAR = YES
LOAD_PGPLOT = `mesasdk_pgplot_link` -lz
with:
USE_PGSTAR = NO
LOAD_PGPLOT =

and also replace
LOAD_HDF5 = `mesasdk_hdf5_link`
with
LOAD_HDF5 = `mesasdk_hdf5_link` -lz

This will disable your ability to generate pgplots.

Though if the system does have the X11 libraries, even without X11
forwarding, it can be useful to not disableX11 in mesa builds so that you
can still generate pgplots and just save them to disk (without displaying
them) then just copy them over from the remote machine to view them.

Let us know how it goes.
Rob
