Part 2 of 2 (part 1 is autoconf changes, part 2 is C++ changes)
When only a single SWR architecture is being used, this allows that
architecture to be builtin rather than as a separate libswrARCH.so that
gets loaded via dlopen. Since there are now several different code
paths for each detected CPU architecture, the log output is also
adjusted to convey where the backend is getting loaded from.
This allows SWR to be used for static mesa builds which are still
important for large HPC environments where shared libraries can impose
unacceptable application startup times as hundreds of thousands of copies
of the libs are loaded from a shared parallel filesystem.
Based on an initial implementation by Tim Rowley.
v2: Refactor repetitive preprocessor checks to reduce code duplication
v3: Formatting changes per Bruce C. Also delay screen creation until end
to avoid leaks when failure conditions are hit.

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.
