9Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
10no longer shipped or supported.

22This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.

26------- -------
27
28At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.
29
30Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
31src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

34General
35-------
36
37After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
38PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
39in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
40executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
41the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.
42
43The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
44stdcall calling convention.
45
46Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
47the linker import files associated with the DLL files.
48
49The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
50mainly to get the better tessellator code.

52If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
53to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
