[Mesa3d-dev] Help wanted

[Brian P. <br...@va...>]

I'm looking for volunteers to help out with some parts of the Mesa project:

1. GNU configure script maintainer:  I've been getting a lot of email
   from people having trouble with ./configure;make for a variety of
   reasons.  I don't have time to learn and maintain the configure
   scripts so I need someone to help out with that.  The original
   author of the configure scripts doesn't seem to have the time to
   maintain them.  If I don't get help, I'll have to remove them
   entirely.

2. Windows driver maintainer:  The Mesa Windows driver is out of date,
   as are the project/makefiles.  I don't use Windows but I'd appreciate
   someone spending a little time to get them up to date.

3. Website help:  C. J. Beyer has been a big help in maintaining the
   www.mesa3d.org website but he too is busy with other things now.
   I wouldn't mind an overhaul of the site to give it a new look.

Anyone who's interested in helping with these items should send me
email.

Thanks!

-Brian

Can you outline the issues needing resolvement in the build system? I don't
have too much time, but I would take the position of build system maintainer
if nobody else would.

Here's a few items:

1. The files in Mesa/src/X86/ were changed and the configure script
sometimes fails there.

2. If the MesaDemos.tar file isn't unpacked with the MesaLib.tar
file then configure/make dies because of a GLUT problem.

There were more that I can't remember off-hand, and there's a
few other issues in the Mesa bug database.

Can you compile a specific list of stuff you know of? I guess I'll take the
job and try to look into the issues next weekend.

I've updated the Mesa bug database with the latest problems.

Alright, I'll be on it as soon as I can.
