   6 Quick Start
   7 ----- -----
   8
   9 Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
  10 no longer shipped or supported.
  11
  12 Run
  13
  14   scons osmesa mesagdi
  15
  16 to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or
  17
  18   scons libgl-gdi
  19
  20 to build gallium based GDI driver.
  21
  22 This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.
  23
  24
  25 Windows Drivers
  26 ------- -------
  27
  28 At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.
  29
  30 Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
  31 src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

  34 General
  35 -------
  36
  37 After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
  38 PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
  39 in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
  40 executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
  41 the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.
  42
  43 The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
  44 stdcall calling convention.
  45
  46 Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
  47 the linker import files associated with the DLL files.
  48
  49 The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
  50 mainly to get the better tessellator code.
  51
  52 If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
  53 to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
