argparse type is a nice type saver for simple data types, but it doesn't look a good fit for the input XML file: - Certain implementations of argparse (particularly python 2.7.3's) invoke the type constructor for the default argument even when an option is passed in the command line. Causing `No such file or directory: 'gl_API.xml'` when the current dir is not src/mapi/glapi/gen. - The parser takes multiple arguments. This is currently worked around using lambdas, but that unnecessarily complex and hard to read. Furthermore it's odd to have a side-effect as heavy as parsing XML happening deep inside the argument parsing. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90600 Reviewed-by: Brian Paul <brianp@vmware.com>
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.
