Bug 111016

> As far as I know, there are no OpenGL drivers for macOS available from Mesa, so enabling any of those does not appear to be an option

The three software rasterizers (swrast, softpipe/llvmpipe, and swr) work on macos. This configuraiton looks really strange though, because you're going to end up with gallium state trackers (vdpau and xvmc), as well as a libgles, but no drivers.

Out of curiosity, what were the autotools options you were using on macos?

Ah ok! I did not realize that those worked on macOS. The configure flags do look incorrect, and might be the source of this issue. Some of this code is shared between Linux and macOS so that is where those values are coming from. Looking at it now, we should probably rely on the auto setting which will do the correct thing in most of these cases.

Here are the flags for autotools, which I have verified works:

Macports flags are:

```
    --disable-silent-rules
    --with-platforms=x11
    --disable-egl
    --disable-gbm
    --disable-osmesa
    --disable-llvm-shared-libs
    --with-gallium-drivers=
```

For reference, the flags we pass today on master are at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/mesa/default.nix#L98-L132 . Generally speaking, nixpkgs errs on the side of more explicit flags rather than leaving up to configure's defaults, but yes the first priority if making it work, even if it means making a lot more of those flags platform-specific.

I've proposed a fix here for the glx bits:

You really should turn off xvmc and vdpau, as even if those happen to compile (which meson should error on) they're useless. Those are state trackers that have a hard requirement on a gallium driver (for macos swrast), and are useless without one. I don't think that glvnd doesn't work on macos either, but I could be wrong
