Testing with zlib versions 1.2.{3,4,5,6,7,8} showed no difference in
functionality, correctness, or zlib API usage and 1.2.3 is the oldest
version available in still actively deployed production Linux
distributions (RHEL/CentOS 6 and SuSE 11).
Build 17.1.1 against the system supplied zlib-devel packages for 1.2.3
in EL6 and 1.2.7 on EL7. I then swapped out the zlib version at runtime
via LD_LIBRARY_PATH with ones build from the release tarballs from
zlib.net
Testwise - I ran the piglit shader profile with --quick addded to the
tests since I figured that would exercise the shader cache, which would
in turn use zlib.

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.
