Matt Turner c3211ae093 i965: Disable the unlit centroid workaround on Gen7.
Once upon a time (commit 8313f44409) Paul added code for the unlit
centroid workaround (WaCopyUnlitCentroidBarys). His commit message
claims it fixed the EXT_framebuffer_multisample/interpolation {2,4}
{centroid-deriv,centroid-deriv-disabled} piglit tests but does not say
on which platform, though he cites the IVB PRM.

"3DSTATE_WM [DevIVB, DevHSW]" says

   "[DevIVB]: Workaround: When Centroid Barycentric mode is required, HW
    may produce incorrect interpolation results when a 2X2 pixels have
    unlit pixels."

I later disabled it for Haswell (commit f6db414f3c) with no known ill
effects.

The Sandybridge page does not have this text, but the workarounds
database (see WaCopyUnlitCentroidBarys) says the issues applies *only*
to Sandybridge, and in fact in commit 1a2de7dce8 I note that disabling
the workaround on Sandybridge causes the tests Paul originally mentioned
to fail.

So this is, and always has been, a huge confusing mess.

Disabling the workaround indeed causes the tests Paul originally
mentioned to fail on Sandybridge but not on Ivybridge/Baytrail.

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 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.
