tinymesa

Provides a subset of mesa's compiler infrastructure with vastly fewer dependencies.

Supports the following targets:

• Kepler and later NVIDIA GPUs (via NAK)
• Adreno a3xx and newer (via IR3)
• LLVM (via LLVMpipe)

libtinymesa.so contains all symbols from nir, and a subset of symbols from nak and freedreno (see release notes for a list). libtinymesa_cpu.so contains all these symbols, but in addition, a subset of symbols from gallium (see release notes), and as a result depends on LLVM-20.

Builds are automatically generated upon new releases of mesa (checked daily).

Android (Termux)

On arm64 Termux with Android 11 (API 30) or newer, download libtinymesa.so into Termux's library directory. The Android build includes NIR and IR3/freedreno, but not NAK or LLVMpipe.
