-Quick Start
------ -----
-
-Unzip the MesaLib, MesaGLUT, and MesaDemos ZIP files into the same
-directory.  The libs and demos build separately, so if you do not care
-about the demos or GLUT, you only need to unzip MesaLib.  If you unzip
-more than one ZIP file, they all need to be unzipped into the same
-directory.  Don't worry, you will not overwrite anything.
-
-The Windows build system uses Microsoft Visual Studio.  Project files
-for a specific version of Visual Studio are in their own directory in
-the top-level "windows" directory.  For example, Visual Studio 6 files
-are in windows/VC6.  If a directory does not exist for your version of
-Visual Studio, you can try importing the project files from an earlier
-version of Visual Studio.  At this time, project files exist for
-Version 6 and Version 7.  The code has been built with a beta version
-of Version 8 and it runs on 64-bit Windows.  If you want to try this,
-start by importing the VC7 files and create the 64-bit targets in the
-configuration manager.
-
-It is likely that the new and free Visual Studio Express can be used
-to build Mesa, but it hasn't been tried yet.  Start with the VC7
-project files.
-
-The project files to build the core Mesa library, Windows Mesa
-drivers, OSMesa, and GLU are in the mesa directory.  The project files
-to build GLUT and some demo programs are in the progs directory.
-
-Makefiles are no longer shipped or supported, but can be generated
-from the projects using Visual Studio.
-
-
-Windows Drivers
-------- -------
-
-At this time, only the GDI driver is known to work.  Most of the demos
-in progs/demos should work with this driver.
-
-Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
-src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.
-
-The GDI driver operates basically by writing pixel spans into a DIB
-section and then blitting the DIB to the window.  The driver was
-recently cleaned up and rewitten and so may have bugs or may be
-missing some functionality.  The older versions of the CVS source may
-be useful in figuring out any problems, or report them to me.
-
-To build Mesa with the GDI driver, build the mesa, gdi, and glu
-projects in the Visual Studio workspace found at
-
-	windows/VC6/mesa/mesa.dsw
-or
-	windows/VC7/mesa/mesa.sln
-
-The osmesa DLL can also be built with the osmesa project.
-
-The build system creates a lib top-level directory and copies
-resulting LIB and DLL files to this lib directory.  The files are:
-
-	OPENGL32.LIB, GLU32.LIB, OSMESA32.LIB
-	OPENGL32.DLL, GLU32.DLL, OSMESA32.DLL
-
-If the MesaDemos ZIP file was extracted, the DLL files are also copied
-to the demos directory.  This facilitates running the demos as described
-below.
-
-
-GLUT and Demos
----- --- -----
-
-A Visual Studio workspace can be found at 
-
-	windows/VC6/progs/progs.dsw
-or
-	windows/VC7/progs/progs.sln
-
-It can be used to build GLUT and a few demos.  The GLUT lib and DLL
-are copied to the top-level lib directory, along with the Mesa libs.
-
-The demo build system expects to find the LIB files in the top level
-lib directory, so you must build the Mesa libs first.  The demo
-executables are placed in the demos directory, because some of them
-rely on data files found there.  Also, the Mesa lib DLL's were copied
-there by the Mesa lib build process.  Therefore, you should be able to
-simply run the demo executables from the demo directory.
-
-If you want to run the demos from the Visual Studio, you may have to
-change the startup directory and explicitly state where the executables are.
-
-You may also build all the demo programs by using a makefile.  Go to
-the progs/demos directory and make sure you have executed VCVARS32.BAT
-or whatever setup script is appropriate for your compiler.  Then,
-
-	nmake -f Makefile.win
-
-should build all the demos.
-
-
-Build System Notes
------ ------ -----
-
-VC6
----
-
-Visual Studio 6 does not recognize files with the .cc extension as C++
-language files, without a lot of unnatural tweaking.  So, the VC6
-build process uses custom build steps to compile these files in the
-GLU library.
-
-Two additional configurations are provided, Debug x86 and Release x86
-that activate the shader code compilation by defining SLANG_86.  It is
-unknown if and how this works.
-
-VC7
----
-
-The above-mentioned .cc problem does not exist in this version.
-
-
-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.
-
-To build "mangled" Mesa, add the preprocessor define USE_MGL_NAMESPACE
-to the project settings.  You will also need to edit src/mesa.def to
-change all the gl* symbols to mgl*.  Because this is easy to do with a
-global replace operation in a text editor, no additional mangled
-version of mesa.def is maintained or shipped.
-
-If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, it is
-probably better to direct it to me (kschultz@users.sourceforge.net),
-rather than directly to the other Mesa developers.  I will help you as
-much as I can.  I also monitor the Mesa mailing lists and will answer
-questions in this area there as well.

+Quick Start

+----- -----

+

+Unzip the MesaLib, MesaGLUT, and MesaDemos ZIP files into the same

+directory.  The libs and demos build separately, so if you do not care

+about the demos or GLUT, you only need to unzip MesaLib.  If you unzip

+more than one ZIP file, they all need to be unzipped into the same

+

+The Windows build system uses Microsoft Visual Studio.  Project files

+for a specific version of Visual Studio are in their own directory in

+the top-level "windows" directory.  For example, Visual Studio 8 files

+are in windows/VC8.

+

+Support has been dropped for versions of Visual Studio prior to 8. The

+main reason is because Microsoft now provides a free compiler and

+developer environment.  Visual Studio Express can be found at

+

+http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/default.aspx

+

+You'll also need the Platform SDK.  Instructions for obtaining and

+using the SDK with Visual Studio Express can be found at

+

+http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/

+

+If you are stuck using VC6 or VC7, you may start with these project

+files, but you may need to modify them to reflect changes in the

+Mesa source code tree.  If you sucessfully update the project files,

+please submit them to the author of this document so that they may

+be included in the next distribution. 

+

+The project files to build the core Mesa library, Windows Mesa

+drivers, OSMesa, and GLU are in the mesa directory.  The project files

+to build GLUT and some demo programs are in the progs directory.

+

+Makefiles are no longer shipped or supported, but can be generated
