Quick Start
+----- -----
+
+Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
+no longer shipped or supported.
+
+Run
+
+ scons libgl-gdi
+
+to build gallium based GDI driver.
+
+This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.
+
+
+Windows Drivers
+------- -------
+
+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.
+
+Recipe
+------
+
+Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
+steps that work as of this writing.
+
+- install python 2.7
+- install scons (latest)
+- install mingw, flex, and bison
+- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
+ get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
+- install git
+- download mesa from git
+ see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
+- run scons
+
+General
+-------
+
+After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
+PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things
+in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
+executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
+the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.
+
+The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
+stdcall calling convention.
+
+Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are
+the linker import files associated with the DLL files.
+
+The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done
+mainly to get the better tessellator code.
-If you have Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 installed, simply go to the top directory
-of the Mesa distribution and type 'nmake -f Makefile.win NODEBUG=1' for
-an optimized build.
-
-Details and Notes
-
-- Building Mesa as noted above should visit and build the following:
- src MesaGL.dll, MesaGL.lib, osmesa.dll, osmesa.lib
- si-glu MesaGLU.dll, MesaGLU.lib
- src-glut glut32.dll, glut32.lib
- demos a handful of demo executables.
-
-- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH
- or to the demos directory if you just want to give the demos a try.
- The DLL and LIB files are copied to the ./lib directory. The makefile
- creates this directory if it does not already exist.
-
-- The make targets 'clean' and 'clobber' will remove objects and libraries.
- But the files in ./lib are never cleaned.
-
-- The make target 'install' will take its best shot at copying DLL files,
- LIB files, and headers to the right places. I strongly suggest that
- you examine the makefiles to make sure that 'install' doesn't do anything
- that you can't live with.
-
-- The makefiles are designed to work with Microsoft's NMAKE, and do,
- unfortunately, have some Microsoft-specific things in them. If you
- would like to use gcc or some other build tools like the Cygnus tools,
- then you will have to hack the makefiles to make them work with your
- tools. I'm sorry about this; I wasn't motivated to make this any
- different, but if you end up modifying the makefiles for your tools,
- you can send me the changes and I can apply the changes to the
- source tree.
-
-- There are no Microsoft Visual Studio project files. However, these
- should be very easy to create. One can use the compiler and linker
- options found in the makefiles to make quick progress in creating
- projects.
-
-- The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
- stdcall calling convention.
-
-- Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with
- the current makefiles are the linker import files associated with
- the DLL files. If static LIB's are desired, it should not be too
- difficult to modify the makefiles to generate them.
-
-- The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done
- mainly to get the better tessellator code.
-
-- The osmesa driver builds and should work on Windows as well as
- any other platform.
-
-- The Windows driver (in src/Windows) builds and runs at least at
- a minimal level. I modified this driver to work with the new
- Mesa 4.0 code and driver architecture, but I did not do a great
- deal of optimization and testing. There are many opportunities
- for optimization, many of which can be done by coding more specific
- paths for the rasterizers. See src/osmesa/osmesa.c for some good
- examples.
-
-- There is DirectDraw support in the Windows driver, updated by
- Daniel Slater. You'll need to uncomment the #define DDRAW line
- in src/Windows/wmesadef.h and add ddraw.lib to the list of libraries
- in src/Makefile.win. On some systems, you will acheive significantly
- higher framerates with DirectDraw.
-
-- Some of the more specialized code like FX drivers, stereo, and
- parallel support isn't compiled or tested. I left much of this
- code alone, but it may need some work to get it 'turned on' again.
-
-- No assembly code is compiled or assembled. Again, this may need
- some work to turn it back on or use it again.
-
-If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, it is
-probably better to direct it to me (kschultz@users.sourceforge.net),
-rather than directly to the other Mesa developers. I will help you
-as much as I can. I also monitor the Mesa mailing lists and will
-answer questions in this area there as well.
