* docs: drop most autoconf referencesDylan Baker2019-04-151-82/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's still a few in here, but those docs are already so out of date that it probably makes more sense to delete them. Such as the GLES docs which still claim we only support 1.1 and 2.0, with no mention of 3.x at all. v2: - Add docs for testing back end (Eric Engestrom) - Drop more autootols references - meson is now required not recommended - Add $PWD Acked-by: Kenneth Graunke <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Eric Engestrom <[email protected]> Acked-by: Marek Olšák <[email protected]> Acked-by: Jason Ekstrand <[email protected]> Acked-by: Bas Nieuwenhuizen <[email protected]> Acked-by: Matt Turner <[email protected]>

| | | | | | | | | | | | A while back we agreed that having a live/staging branch is beneficial. Sadly we forgot to document that, so here is my first attempt. Document the caveat that the branch history is not stable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have extra (somewhat questionable) modularity, such that one could build some parts with LLVM while others w/o. That is extremely fragile, error prone and requires quite noticable amount of code throughout. Thus lets deprecate the gallium toggle in faviour of the generic one. The former will throw a warning when set, and it will be overwritten by the latter. This will allow gradual transition w/o breaking people's scripts. v2: Rebase, document in release notes.
