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
