Note that the memory layout of one vertex stream inside one "item" (= memory
written by one GS wave) on the GSVS ring is:
t0v0c0 ... t15v0c0 t0v1c0 ... t15v1c0 ... t0vLc0 ... t15vLc0
t0v0c1 ... t15v0c1 t0v1c1 ... t15v1c1 ... t0vLc1 ... t15vLc1
...
t0v0cL ... t15v0cL t0v1cL ... t15v1cL ... t0vLcL ... t15vLcL
t16v0c0 ... t31v0c0 t16v1c0 ... t31v1c0 ... t16vLc0 ... t31vLc0
t16v0c1 ... t31v0c1 t16v1c1 ... t31v1c1 ... t16vLc1 ... t31vLc1
...
t16v0cL ... t31v0cL t16v1cL ... t31v1cL ... t16vLcL ... t31vLcL
...
t48v0c0 ... t63v0c0 t48v1c0 ... t63v1c0 ... t48vLc0 ... t63vLc0
t48v0c1 ... t63v0c1 t48v1c1 ... t63v1c1 ... t48vLc1 ... t63vLc1
...
t48v0cL ... t63v0cL t48v1cL ... t63v1cL ... t48vLcL ... t63vLcL
where tNN indicates the thread number, vNN the vertex number (in the order of
EMIT_VERTEX), and cNN the output component (vL and cL are the last vertex and
component, respectively).
The vertex streams are laid out sequentially.
The swizzling by 16 threads is hard-coded in the way the VGT generates the
offset passed into the GS copy shader, and the jump every 16 threads is
calculated from VGT_GSVS_RING_OFFSET_n and VGT_GSVS_RING_ITEMSIZE in a way
that makes it difficult to deviate from this layout (at least that's what
I've experimentally confirmed on VI after first trying to go the simpler
route of just interleaving the vertex streams).

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.
