Chris Wilson 64788b2e8d i965: Throttle to the previous frame
In order to facilitate the concurrency offered by triple buffering and to
offset the latency induced by swapping via an external process, which
may incur extra rendering itself, only throttle to the previous frame
and not the last. The second issue that mostly affects swap benchmarks,
but also can incur jitter in the throttling, is that the throttle bo is
closer to the next SwapBuffers rather than immediately after the previous
SwapBuffers. Throttling to the previous frame doubles the maximum possible
latency at the benefit of improving throughput and reducing jitter.

v2: Rename "first_post_swapbuffer" batches array to a plain
throttle_batch[] as the pluralisation was contorting the name and not
making it clear as to whether it was the first batch or first_post_swap
batch. Not least of which was that not all throttle points are SwapBuffers.

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

to build classic osmesa driver; 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.
