[Mesa-users] Error installing MESA r8118

[Francis Timmes]

for installation of old versions of mesa like 8118,
i have found it easiest to use  

https://github.com/NuGrid/NuDocker

in part because it pulls age appropriate versions of
the operating system and compiler. for example, within the past year
i have successfully built and run mesa version 5329 with nudocker.

Up until now I have been using the newer release and not had any issues, but I am attempting to install an older release to use its modules, and having troubles compiling. I am on a Linux Ubuntu 20.04 system, trying to install MESA r8118 using the 20160129 SDK (mesasdk-x86_64-linux-20160129.tar.gz).
