Thomas Hellstrom 54a58b2856 loader/dri3: Improve dri3 thread-safety
It turned out that with recent changes that call into dri3 from glFinish(),
it appears like different thread end up waiting for X events simultaneously,
causing deadlocks since they steal events from eachoter and update the dri3
counters behind eachothers backs.

This patch intends to improve on that. It allows at most one thread at a
time to wait on events for a single drawable. If another thread intends to
do the same, it's put to sleep until the first thread finishes waiting, and
then it rechecks counters and optionally retries the waiting. Threads that
poll for X events never pulls X events off the event queue if there are
other threads waiting for events on that drawable. Counters in the
dri3 drawable structure are protected by a mutex. Finally, the mutex we
introduce is never held while waiting for the X server to avoid
unnecessary stalls.

This does not make dri3 drawables completely thread-safe but at least it's a
first step.

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