Re: [Mesa3d-users] Mesa3D on Windows XP

[Haravikk <ad...@ha...>]

I had no luck replacing the Windows opengl32.dll, as you say XP just  
brings it right back. So I've been trying the files in the application  
directory. I'm fairly certain that they are being detected as well, as  
the game I'm trying to run (KOTOR 2) has a sort of self-check tool  
that looks for OpenGL, DirectX etc. (why it needs both beats me). It's  
when I run this tool that I get the error, and on its little report it  
reports finding an unknown opengl version. With the Windows default  
open gl dll it reports the version (1.1) and claims this is  
insufficient, but throws no errors, presumably it doesn't encounter  
the glTexImage3D error though because after checking the version  
number it immediately stops testing.

So as far as I can tell I'm getting the error /with/ the Mesa3D dll  
correctly installed in the game's directory along with all the other  
build result files Visual Studio produced in /lib/. It could be that  
I've managed not to compile properly somehow (though it seemed  
straightforward enough), so if someone had pre-compiled ones for XP  
then I could check to see if that helps any.
