Need more information
I recently purchased a Pi 4 for my son to use with school, and now am looking at getting Box86 going. I do not know what mesa is or if I should be trying to install gl4es on a Pi 4, as your documentation only addresses 2 and 3. I tried building box 86 with the standard noobs install it came with and it appears to build. I also installed steam, via this site https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/raspberry-pi-install-steam and it is failing to launch after we have logged in with steam. Any suggestions of gl4es and then what to do with box86 and steam? I thought I saw somewhere that there was a baked OS for this. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts.
The standard install I chose was 32 bit, and I am comfortable with zsh and bash.
On an RPi4, you don't need gl4es, mesa is good enough. You need a 32bits OS yes.
for steam, you probably need to sudo apt install libappindicator1
Be aware that not everything works with steam. You need to use "Mini-mode", the full Browser view will not work (but now Big Picture mode does work, since yesterday).
Also, booting steam with a Joystick/Gamepad plugged in will probably crash steam.
Last word, steam doesn't quit properly (you need to killall -9 steam to really "quit").
It's better to use some other source of game, like GOG, itch.io or the DRM free part of HB.
(also, not that there is gamer firendly distrib called twisteros here: https://twisteros.com/ that include box86 and many other tweaks to make life easier).
Thanks for the heads up. I saw the need to kill steam. However after login we never get to see the menu view>small mode. The login disappears and stays that way. I will post on steam and raspberry forums for this. It appears that Mesa and Vulcan share the same Gitlab repo and have merged. I’m still contemplating which direction to go. I am going to look at twisteros now.

You may also need sudo apt install libnm0
and you are not in the right repo now, as it's about box86 and not gl4es anymore.
