libdrm - userspace library for drm
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is libdrm, a userspace library for accessing the DRM, direct rendering
|
|
manager, on Linux, BSD and other operating systems that support the ioctl
|
|
interface.
|
|
The library provides wrapper functions for the ioctls to avoid exposing the
|
|
kernel interface directly, and for chipsets with drm memory manager, support
|
|
for tracking relocations and buffers.
|
|
New functionality in the kernel DRM drivers typically requires a new libdrm,
|
|
but a new libdrm will always work with an older kernel.
|
|
|
|
libdrm is a low-level library, typically used by graphics drivers such as
|
|
the Mesa drivers, the X drivers, libva and similar projects.

Compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
To set up meson:
|
|
|
|
meson builddir/
|
|
|
|
By default this will install into /usr/local, you can change your prefix
|
|
with --prefix=/usr (or `meson configure builddir/ -Dprefix=/usr` after
|
|
the initial meson setup).
|
|
|
|
Then use ninja to build and install:
|
|
|
|
ninja -C builddir/ install
|
|
|
|
If you are installing into a system location you will need to run install
|
|
separately, and as root.
