Build dependencies
To install Mesa and DRM build dependencies, you need to enable the sources for apt-get.
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
# uncomment this line:
# deb-src http://*.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
# * is your country code (e.g. us, gb)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep mesa
Note: This is the same as the build dependencies for Sugar Mesa.
Get the source
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
cd mesa
git checkout mesa-12.0.6
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig/

# configures depend on your GPU model.

# Below is an example enabling Radeon GPU
# ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/ --enable-gles2 --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm --enable-shared-glapi --enable-gbm --enable-gallium-llvm --with-dri-drivers=i915,i965,radeon --with-gallium-drivers=radeonsi,r300,r600,swrast

# Below is an example for Single GPU machines
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/ --enable-gles2 --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm --enable-shared-glapi --enable-gbm --enable-gallium-llvm --with-dri-drivers=i915,i965
Build
make -j16
sudo make install
Troubleshooting
LLVM not found
If you see this error,
checking for RADEON... yes
configure: error: LLVM is required to build Gallium R300 on x86 and x86_64
Check if you have installed llvm-3.8. If not, run:
sudo apt-get install llvm-3.8
If you have installed llvm-3.8, and still see this error, modify configure.ac:
vim configure.ac
# find the if statement that causes this problem by searching for "$llvm_prefix"
# replace all 'llvm-config' with 'llvm-config-3.8' in the if statement
