The code for growing the memory pool (which is used for storing all of the global buffers) wasn't working. There seem to be two separate issues with the memory pool code. The first was the way it was growing the pool. When the memory pool needed more space, it would: 1. Copy the data from the memory pool's backing texture to system memory. 2. Delete the memory pool's texture 3. Create a bigger backing texture for the memory pool. 4. Copy the data from system memory into the bigger texture. The copy operations didn't seem to be working, and I suspect that since they were using fragment shaders to do the copy, that there might have been a problem with the mixing of compute and 3D state. The other issue is that the size of 1D textures is limited, and I was having trouble getting 2D textures to work. I think these problems will be easier to solve once more code is shared between 3D and compute, which is why I decided to disable it for now rather than continue searching for a fix.
File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 23 April 2011 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons osmesa mesagdi to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or 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. 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.
