Although the hardware supports separate binding tables for each pipeline stage, we don't see much advantage over a single shared table. Consider the contents of the binding table: - Textures (16) - Draw buffers (8) - Pull constant buffers (1 for VS, 1 for WM) OpenGL's texture bindings are global: the same set of textures is available to all shader targets. So our binding table entries for textures would be exactly the same in every table. There are only two pull constant buffers (not many), and although draw buffers aren't interesting to the VS, it shouldn't hurt to have them in the table. The hardware supports up to 254 binding table entries, and we currently only use 26.

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.
