-Greetings,
-
- In order to build the Mingw32 set of Mesa 3-D Graphics Library for Beta3.08
-it will be necessary for you to use the Dos or Command Prompt that is available
-on most of the i86 based MS Windows machines. Also, I believe that this build
-will run on Win95, Win98, WinNT4 and WinNT5.
-
- I haven't tested Win95/98 or WinNT5. This build was generated under
-WinNT4 with SP3 installed.
+ (ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/)
- This has not been tested under any systems outside of
-a WinNT4 Workstation with EGCS-Mingw32 toolchain, v.1.0.2 installed.
+ This build has been tested under WinNT4/SP6. Win9x and WinNT5 remain untested by me. I have not tested any of the demos included with Mesa3d.
- EGCS-Mingw32 uses a variation of gcc to handle its build. The Mesa 3-D
-Graphics Library build that I have generated is based, in small part, on the
-Cygwin32 build and associated makefiles that Stephane Rehel (rehel@worldnet.fr)
-defined back in 1997. The EGCS-Mingw32 toolchain is capable of generating
-native windows code and, as of the date of this readme, can be obtained from:

Much thanks to the combined efforts of Mumit Khan, Jan-Jaap Vanderhagen
-and Colin Peters for making it possible for the EGCS-Mingw32 toolchain to exist.

-Installing EGCS-Mingw32 Build Revisions:
-
- To install the makefile and source revisions incorporated with this build
-of the Mesa 3-D Graphics Library, you'll have to use a version of winzip. I am
-in the process of finding a suitable Win32 compatible tar executable so that if
-you don't have winzip, you can still decompress the files into their respective
-folders/directories.
-
- a) Move the mingw32.zip file to the top level of the hard drive on your
-system.
-
- b) Copy all of the Beta 3.08 src/windows files to the src/ directory.
-
- b) Open the Winzip file
+and Colin Peters for making it possible for the Mingw32 toolchain to exist. Also, thanks go out to Stephane Rehel for the work that was completed on the Cygwin build.
- c) Verify that the files will be properly extracted.
+Installing GCC-2.95.2/Mingw32 Build:
- d) Extract the files with the Winzip "Overwrite" and "Use Folder Names"
- options enabled.
+ a) Open the file archive (either tar.gz or .zip extensions)
- The zip file directory structure extraction defaults to the top level of
-the hard drive where the mingw32.zip file exists unless otherwise instructed by
-you.
+ b) Decide the directory you want to move the archived files to.
- The version of wmesa.c included with the mingw32 archive needs to replace
-the current version of the Beta 3.08 wmesa.c file in order for the egcs-mingw32
-build to work. This is because the original Win32 stuff assumes that the glut
-utilities are to be installed. The Glut utilities are not part of the
-egcs-mingw32 build for Beta 3.08.
+ d) Extract the files from the archive.
+
+ e) Edit the mingw32.bat file to accomodate your choice of directory structure.
-
-Build Considerations:
-
- In order to get the build to work, I needed to create a special makefile
-for each library which the Mesa 3-D Graphics Library requires since there is no
-comparable make-config/config on a native windows platform.
-
- Since I was only creating a few of the possible libraries for
-Mesa (gl, glu), I only created the new make files in their respective libraries
-src, src-glu). For libMesaaux.a. you will find a makefile for it in the
-src-aux directory. libMesatk.a and libglut.a were not ported.
-
- The build itself is a .bat based build and uses Gnu Make,Version 3.76.1 to
-process the makefiles noted above. The build must be run from the directory
-where the mingw32.bat file is. You can get the binary version of Make 3.76.1
-from Jan-Jaap van der Heijden's site in Germany:
-
- http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/download.html
-
- It was necessary to modify some source code, specifically the source code
-in the src-glu directory. I needed to modify nurbs.c, quadric.c and tess.c in
-order to get them to work using the EGCS-Mingw32 toolchain.
-
- The original EGCS-Mingw32 Toolchain, is available from:
-
- http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/egcs-mingw32-102.html
+ %mesaroot%: This is your root directory (Mesa-3.3)
+ %mesasrc%: This is the Mesa-3.3 src directory (Mesa-3.3\src)
+ %mesalib%: This is where the build will put libGL.a and libGLU.a
Running the Build:
- Ok, now that we've got the basics out of the way, follows is all you need
-to do in order to build the EGCS-Mingw32 version of libMesaGL.a and libMesaGLU.a:
-
- Open your Command Prompt/Dos prompt.
- Go to your Mesa-3.0 beta 'root' directory.
- This is the same directory that the Mesa mingw32.zip file was
- originally stored in if you've installed the Mesa-3.0 beta 3-D
- Graphics Library source as outlined in the "readme" file included
- with the Mesa-3.0 beta distribution.
+ Open your Command Prompt or MS-DOS prompt.
+ Go to your Mesa-3.3 'root' directory
At the command line type: mingw32
- mingw32 is the .bat file that actually does the build.
+
+ That's all there is to it.
Enjoy!
