howto emerge an older version of media-libs/mesa

[olivierva]

Hello.

I'm trying to compile blender (a opensource 3d modelling program) and it needs the mesa libs. The problem is mesa 3.5 produces a whole bunch of undefined references during the compile. I also saw mesa 3.5 isn't a stable release so I was thinking I should use an older version (3.4.1).
So my questions are: Are there any older ebuilds of the mesa libs, if so where can I find them, and how do I have to emerge them?

Greetings,

Olivier

I don't know how to download older packages with command-line but with kportage it's easy, you can browse the whole portege tree.

Still about mesa seems to exist only 3.5.

If you can get or create an ebuild of an earlier version you can emerge it by doing emerge "<mesa-3.5" or by doing emerge /usr/portage/media-libs/mesa/mesa-3.4.1.ebuild or whatever the filename is.
