# Function Name Mangling

If you want to use both Mesa and another OpenGL library in the same application at the same time you may find it useful to compile Mesa with name mangling. This results in all the Mesa functions being prefixed with mgl instead of gl.

To do this, recompile Mesa with the compiler flag -DUSE_MGL_NAMESPACE. Add the flag to CFLAGS in the configuration file which you want to use. For example:

    CFLAGS += -DUSE_MGL_NAMESPACE
