1 Introduction
This page gathers information on how to build On-Screen Mesa on Ubuntu. Please keep in mind that:
- These instructions might go out of date, in case a particular Ubuntu version upgrades their default Mesa source code version that is provided via apt.
- These instructions are designed to integrate directly in OpenFOAM's custom builds of ParaView.

2 Ubuntu 18.04
Steps:
- Switch to root mode (administrator), to install the necessary packages:
sudo -s
- If the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list, then run:
su -
- If the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list, then run:
- Update the apt-get cache by running:
apt-get update
- Install the necessary packages:
apt-get install mesa-utils libglu1-mesa-dev scons llvm-dev python-pip libyaml-dev pip install prettytable Mako pyaml dateutils --upgrade
In addition, we need to turn on the sources list, because we need to install the additional dependencies needed for building Mesa from source code:
sed -i~orig -e 's/# deb-src/deb-src/' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get build-dep mesa
And you're using a virtual machine, make sure you also install the toolkit provided by your virtualization software. For example, for VirtualBox you can use the following command to install the guest toolkit:
apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11
- Now exit from the root mode:
exit
- Now for the process of building Mesa for the OpenGL software renderer, we need to run the following commands:
cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR apt-get source mesa cd mesa-19.0.2 scons build=release texture_float=yes libgl-xlib > log.makeMesa 2>&1 && cp -vr build/linux-x86_64/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/* $ParaView_DIR/lib/
Hopefully everything works as intended and ends with something like the following output:
'build/linux-x86_64/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/libGL.so' -> '/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/lib/libGL.so' 'build/linux-x86_64/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/libGL.so.1' -> '/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/lib/libGL.so.1' 'build/linux-x86_64/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/libGL.so.1.5' -> '/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/lib/libGL.so.1.5' 'build/linux-x86_64/gallium/targets/libgl-xlib/xlib.os' -> '/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-7/platforms/linux64Gcc/ParaView-5.6.0/lib/xlib.os'
But if not, check the contents of the file log.makeMesa, specifically the end of the file.
- And ParaView should now be ready to be used, even though it will sometimes feel a bit sluggish...
