RE: [Mesa3d-dev] WIN32 compilation, problems and partial patch

[Suhaib M. S. <ssi...@nc...>]

One more problem.  The Microsoft Makefiles in CVS are aboslutely useless.  I
assume Ted Jump is not supporting the project.  I started working on fixing
Mesa3D for Widnows, but soon discovered the Makefiles in Win32 directory are
useless and Ted removed the Developers Studio Project  files long time ago.
One had to create MSVC project files from scratch.  If anyone has working
Makefiles or Developers Studio Projectf iles for MSVC, please post them or
send them to me by email (ssi...@in...).  It will be of great
help and speed up work.

Thanks
Suhaib
