[Mesa3d-dev] Tru64 compile

[Sven M. H. <pe...@gm...>]

Hi everyone, 

I've been in touch with Brian for some days, have fixed some issues with the
configure script, and am now trying to resolve other compilation issues,
namely bug #104528 (Mesa 3.2b1 fails to link on Compaq Tru64 UNIX) and #104856
(compilation on cygwinB + win2k fails).

Unfortunately I don't have access to Tru64 UNIX so it would be of great help
is someone else who does could assist me in finding the reason for the strange
behaviour. Over.

On the same note, I've already patched configure.in to include the compiler
flags suggested in bug #104648 (Tru64 Mesa crashes if not compiled with -g)
when on Tru64. Can someone verify the correctness of this?

The cygwin case isn't that bad, I have cygwin installed here but am not too
familiar with its internals. If there's somebody with more experience I'd
greatly appreciate any advice.


Thanks,
Sven

What do you want to do with Cygwin, or what kind of help do you need?
Basically, you need to watch out the #ifdef WIN32 and #ifdef __CYGWIN32__
conflicts.
I have fixed them several times, but till now I did not participated in
Mesa3D developements
therefore they never became part of official source tree.  A few times, I
sent Makefile
patches to Brian and they were added config files.

BTW: I sawa  note on Mesa3D home Page that Brian needs help for Win32 etc.
I will be willing
to help as time permits.

There's just an open bug stating that Mesa doesn't compile on cygwin, nothing
more. Well I can confirm it doesnt compile. I don't remember exactly what the
error was, but I'll post it sometime soon when I get around booting windoze
again.

The best thing will probably be if you try to compile Mesa under cygwin
yourself, patching those errors you already know. Then just send the patches
in so we can, having those all ruled out, start fixing other problems together
(if you have time that is).


Thanks,

What the bug is which prevents its compilation? 
I will have a look when I get time.

OK, great.

I get occasional emails from people asking why the Windows or DOS
drivers don't compile and I explain that nobody has volunteered to
maintain them.  It would be great if you could help out with this.

Later today I'll probably check in a bunch of changes I made to
clean-up the GL/gl.h header.  I moved a lot of the Windows-related
#defines and #pragmas into other files.  Testing on Windows will
probably expose some typos, etc.

Agreed, that would be good. If something has to be done on the configure
process, be sure to let me know, I'll be happy to take it. However I
don't have the time or experience to actually do much work on the Win/DOS
compilation itself.

Yep - but welcome to the land of freeware.  If there is so little interest
in something that nobody will step forward to maintain it, it *will* die.

It's unreasonable to expect people who are primarily focussed on Linux
(and a few other non-Microsoft OS's) to care very much about an OS that
already has quite a few reasonable OpenGL implementations.

I can help with WIndows, but DOS is beyond my reach.  I do not have
it installed.

There are several options for Windows

1) Microsoft Viusal C/C++ and build Mesa3D with wgl

2) Many developers want Mesa3D with glx API instead of wgl
so they can port UNIX OpenGL applications to Windows without
rewriting the code.  Of course it requires an X-server for Windodws.
I had been using Mesa for this option for a while.

3) Cygwin and MingW32 both cane be used to compile Mesa with wgl

4) Cygwin and Microsoft compilers, both, can be used to compile Mesa3D with
glx
