Eric Anholt 1925a9aebd i965: Build the driver into a shared mesa_dri_drivers.so .
Previously, we've split things such that mesa core is in libdricore,
exposing the whole Mesa core interface in the global namespace, and the
i965_dri.so code all links against that.  Along with polluting application
namespace terribly, it requires extra PLT indirections and prevents LTO.

Instead, we can build all of the driver contents into the same .so with
just a few symbols exposed to be referenced from the actual driver .so
file, allowing LTO and reducing our exposed symbol count massively.

FPS improvement on GLB2.7 with INTEL_NO_HW=1: 2.61061% +/- 1.16957% (n=50)
(without LTO, just the PLT reductions from this commit)

Note that the X Server requires commit
7ecfab47eb221dbb996ea6c033348b8eceaeb893 to successfully load this driver!

v2: Set a global driverAPI variable so loaders don't have to update to
    createNewScreen2() (though they may want to for thread safety).
v3: Drop AM_CPPFLAGS addition (Emil pointed out I'd missed some cflags
    that would be necessary, though only if we actually relied on them).
v4: Fix install with DESTDIR set.

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.

1) install python 2.7
2) install scons (latest)
3) install mingw, flex, and bison
4) install libxml2 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get libxml2-python-2.9.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
5) install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
6) install git
7) download mesa from git
  see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
8) 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.
