Notice that apt-get install mesag-dev complains that mesa-common-dev is
not going to be installed.
That said, suppose i build my executable with mesag3, and then which to
run it on a system where xlibmesa is installed. Will it work ? And if
yes, will it be hardware accelerated ?
I just uploaded -5.1, you can see for yourself if built ok or not. I
still think that my -5 upload fixed it, and that the alpha problem may
be related to something else.
