Iago Toral Quiroga 03164f6285 i965/gs: Use single dispatch mode as fallback to dual object mode when possible.
Currently, when a geometry shader can't use dual object mode we fall back to
dual instance mode, however, when invocations == 1, single dispatch mode is
more performant and equally efficient in terms of register pressure.

Single dispatch mode requires that the driver can handle interleaving of
input registers, but this is already supported (dual instance mode has
the same requirement). However, to take full advantage of single dispatch mode
to reduce register pressure we would also need the ability to store two
separate vec4 output values into vec8 registers, which would approximately
double our capacity to store temporary values, but currently the vec4 visitor
and generator classes do not support this, so at the moment register pressure
in single and dual instance modes is the same.

File: docs/README.WIN32

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons osmesa mesagdi

to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or

  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 http://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 a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
