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 6 files -are in windows/VC6. If a directory does not exist for your version of -Visual Studio, you can try importing the project files from an earlier -version of Visual Studio. At this time, project files exist for -Version 6 and Version 7. The code has been built with a beta version -of Version 8 and it runs on 64-bit Windows. If you want to try this, -start by importing the VC7 files and create the 64-bit targets in the -configuration manager. - -It is likely that the new and free Visual Studio Express can be used -to build Mesa, but it hasn't been tried yet. Start with the VC7 -project files. - -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. - - -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. - -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 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.

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.
