Re: [Mesa3d-users] Static library of Mesa on Windows?

[<Mar...@be...>]

Thanks so much for your quick response, Karl. =20

=20

I've taken your advice of starting with an empty template for building
static libraries.  I am, however, getting some trouble with functions
being declared as dllimports, as below:

=20

c:\mesa\mesa-7.0\src\mesa\glapi\glapitemp.h(84) : error C2491:
'glNewList' : definition of dllimport function not allowed

=20

In the DLL Mesa Solution we have these Preprocessor defines set up:

_DEBUG

WIN32

_LIB

_DLL

BUILD_GL32

MESA_MINWARN

=20

I got rid of _DLL; is there anything else I should know to put in here
to make Mesa know that we're trying to build statically?

=20

Thanks for your help.

You're on the right track.  There are a LOT of settings in the Visual
Studio that control this.  Although tedious, one sure-fire approach
would be to start with an empty project for building a static .LIB and
add all the mesa source files to it, using the DLL project as a guide
for which files to add and what compiler options to use.  But be careful
not to use any options for dynamic libs.=20

Another approach is to make a small test project for a static .LIB and
compare the settings with a dynamic lib project.  You can look at the
text project files.  Then try modifying the original project using what
you learned from the comparison.=20

You're probably just missing one of these items.

Hi,

I'm interested in building a static library (.lib) version of Mesa on
Windows that we can link in directly to an application, thus bypassing
the need to have OPENGL32.DLL.

=20

However, from README.WIN32 regarding the VC8 solution file:

"Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files."

=20

I attempted to change the Visual Studio project's configuration to
produce static libraries instead of DLLs, but the libraries it produces
are still only linker import files.

=20

What would I have to do to get static libraries of Mesa built on
Windows?  I appreciate any pointers.
