Nowadays -it's probably better to use Scons to build for Windows. +Last updated: 23 April 2011 Quick Start ----- ----- -Unzip the MesaLib, MesaGLUT, and MesaDemos ZIP files into the same -directory. The libs and demos build separately, so if you do not care -about the demos or GLUT, you only need to unzip MesaLib. If you unzip -more than one ZIP file, they all need to be unzipped into the same -directory. Don't worry, you will not overwrite anything. - -The Windows build system uses Microsoft Visual Studio. Project files -for a specific version of Visual Studio are in their own directory in -the top-level "windows" directory. For example, Visual Studio 8 files -are in windows/VC8. +Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are +no longer shipped or supported. -Support has been dropped for versions of Visual Studio prior to 8. The -main reason is because Microsoft now provides a free compiler and -developer environment. Visual Studio Express can be found at +Run -http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/default.aspx + scons osmesa mesagdi -You'll also need the Platform SDK. Instructions for obtaining and -using the SDK with Visual Studio Express can be found at +to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or -http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ + scons libgl-gdi -The project files to build the core Mesa library, Windows Mesa -drivers, OSMesa, and GLU are in the mesa directory. The project files -to build GLUT and some demo programs are in the progs directory. - -Makefiles are no longer shipped or supported, but can be generated -from the projects using Visual Studio. +to build gallium based GDI driver. Windows Drivers ------- ------- -At this time, only the GDI driver is known to work. Most of the demos -in progs/demos should work with this driver. +At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. -The GDI driver operates basically by writing pixel spans into a DIB -section and then blitting the DIB to the window. The driver was -recently cleaned up and rewitten and so may have bugs or may be -missing some functionality. The older versions of the CVS source may -be useful in figuring out any problems, or report them to me. - -To build Mesa with the GDI driver, build the mesa, gdi, and glu -projects in the Visual Studio workspace found at - - windows/VC8/mesa/mesa.sln - -The osmesa DLL can also be built with the osmesa project. - -The build system creates a lib top-level directory and copies -resulting LIB and DLL files to this lib directory. The files are: - - OPENGL32.LIB, GLU32.LIB, OSMESA32.LIB - OPENGL32.DLL, GLU32.DLL, OSMESA32.DLL - -If the MesaDemos ZIP file was extracted, the DLL files are also copied -to the demos directory. This facilitates running the demos as described -below. - - -GLUT and Demos ----- --- ----- - -A Visual Studio workspace can be found at - - windows/VC8/progs/progs.sln - -It can be used to build GLUT and a few demos. The GLUT lib and DLL -are copied to the top-level lib directory, along with the Mesa libs. - -The demo build system expects to find the LIB files in the top level -lib directory, so you must build the Mesa libs first. The demo -executables are placed in the demos directory, because some of them -rely on data files found there. Also, the Mesa lib DLL's were copied -there by the Mesa lib build process. Therefore, you should be able to -simply run the demo executables from the demo directory. - -If you want to run the demos from the Visual Studio, you may have to -change the startup directory and explicitly state where the executables are. - -You may also build all the demo programs by using a makefile. Go to -the progs/demos directory and make sure you have executed VCVARS32.BAT -or whatever setup script is appropriate for your compiler. Then, - - nmake -f Makefile.win - -should build all the demos. - - -Build System Notes ------ ------ ----- - -VC8 ---- - -No notes. - General ------- @@ -128,11 +47,5 @@ the linker import files associated with the DLL files.
