OpenSolaris

2009.06

OpenBSD

pkg_add the following packages 

automake-1.9
autoconf-2.62
libtool
metaauto

Packages needed to reformat docs need to be sorted out...

Set environment variables to point to the autotools version you're using 

PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig
AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9
AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.62
ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal"

openSUSE

11.3

The libtalloc-devel package for openSUSE 11.3 is missing the required talloc.pc file to allow the mesa build to complete successfully. There are two ways this can be fixed:

  1. defining environment variables which work with pkg-config: 

     $> export TALLOC_LIBS=-ltalloc
 $> export TALLOC_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include"
 $> build.sh -o mesa/mesa $PREFIX

  2. installing a fixed, updated libtalloc-devel package. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632770 for details.

NOTE: openSUSE 11.2 also seems to have this problem
