==== Prerequisites ====
You can prevent weird errors and glitches caused by unfinished wine libs by installing the original d3dcompiler_43.dll and d3dx9_24.dll - d3dx9_43.dll

==== Requirements ====

  * xorg-server **>= 1.16**
  * libxcb & xcb-proto **>= 1.11** (only exception is Debian, where is 1.10 enough)
  * To use the DRI3 backend, xf86-video-nouveau **>= 1.0.11** (for nVidia cards), xf86-video-ati **>= 7.6.0** (for AMD Radeon cards), xf86-video-intel **>= 2.99.916** (for Intel cards, recently disabled DRI3 in development git, must be reenabled)
  * To use the DRI2 fallback (slower but avoid DRI3 potential issues with GL): mesa compiled with **--egl-platforms=drm,x11**
  * mesa ** >= 10.4 ** with parameter **--enable-nine**

**Why is DRI3 recommended?**

The **Direct3D 9 architecture** matches closer to the **DRI3/Present** model, thus why we choosed to base on it for our implementation.
However we implemented a **DRI2/Present** fallback, which emulates DRI3 with a buffer copy, to be used when DRI3 is unavailable (due to bugs in DRI3 GL stack, DRI2 is preferred by distributions).

  * **[[d3d9_dri3|more information about DRI3]]**
==== Build ====

  * http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa (**master** or **any branch above 10.4**)
  * https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D/ (staging & testing branches)
    * **master** branch (follow **Mesa-3D master** branch)
    * **hacks** branch (follow **iXit master** branch, including various hacks //[mostly nouveau]//)

Currently, wine must be compiled from special repository or must be patched.
  * https://github.com/iXit/wine (master branch)


Some patches can be found at http://download.ixit.cz/d3d9/ //(not necessarily up-to-date)//

Here: https://github.com/sarnex/wine-d3d9-patches is also maintained a patch to apply to the last version of wine

You should build mesa as usual, only add 
<code>./configure --enable-nine</code>
 For the wine build, you'll need to have Mesa with Nine already. Then, simply pass 
<code>./configure --with-d3dadapter</code>


**Note: If you are cross-compiling, you will need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the correct-architecture d3d.pc**


You do not need to specify if you are going to use the DRI3 backend or the DRI2 fallback. At runtime it'll detect the one available (with a preference for DRI3).
