+
+Quick Start
+----- -----
+
+Unzip both ZIP files (MesaLib and MesaDemos) into the same directory.
+The libs and demos build separately, so if you do not care about the
+demos, you do not have to unzip that zip file.  But if you do, it does
+need to be unzipped into the same directory as the lib zip file
+because the demos depend on the libs.
+
+The Windows build system uses Microsoft Visual Studio.  Project files
+for a specific version of Visual Studio are in their own directory in
+the top-level "windows" directory.  For example, Visual Studio 6 files
+are in windows/VC6.  If a directory does not exist for your version of
+Visual Studio, you can try importing the project files from an earlier
+version of Visual Studio.  At this time, project files exist for
+Version 6 and Version 7.  The code has been built with a beta version
+of Version 8 and it runs on 64-bit Windows.  If you want to try this,
+start by importing the VC7 files and create the 64-bit targets in the
+configuration manager.
+
+The project files to build the core Mesa library, Windows Mesa
+drivers, OSMesa, and GLU are in the mesa directory.  The project files
+to build GLUT and some demo programs are in the progs directory.
+
+Makefiles are no longer shipped or supported, but can be generated
+from the projects using Visual Studio.
+
+
+Windows Drivers
+------- -------
+
+At this time, only the GDI driver is known to work, as it has been
+ported and rewritten to the latest Mesa DD interfaces.  Source code
+also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows,
+but the status of this code is unknown.
+
+The GDI driver operates basically by writing pixel spans into a DIB
+section and then blitting the DIB to the window.  The driver was
+recently cleaned up and rewitten and so may have bugs or may be
+missing some functionality.  The older versions of the CVS source may
+be useful in figuring out any problems, or report them to me.
+
+To build Mesa with the GDI driver, build the mesa, gdi, and glu
+projects in the Visual Studio workspace found at
+
+	windows/VC6/mesa/mesa.dsw
+or
+	windows/VC7/mesa/mesa.sln
+
+The osmesa DLL can also be built with the osmesa project.
+
+The build system creates a lib top-level directory and copies
+resulting LIB and DLL files to this lib directory.  The files are:
+
+	OPENGL32.LIB, GLU32.LIB, OSMESA32.LIB
+	OPENGL32.DLL, GLU32.DLL, OSMESA32.DLL
+
+If the MesaDemos ZIP file was extracted, the DLL files are also copied
+to the demos directory.  This facilitates running the demos as described
+below.
+
+
+GLUT and Demos
+---- --- -----
+
+A Visual Studio workspace can be found at 
+
+	windows/VC6/progs/progs.dsw
+or
+	windows/VC7/progs/progs.sln
+
+It can be used to build GLUT and a few demos.  The GLUT lib and DLL
+are copied to the top-level lib directory, along with the Mesa libs.
+
+The demo build system expects to find the LIB files in the top level
+lib directory, so you must build the Mesa libs first.  The demo
+executables are placed in the demos directory, because some of them
+rely on data files found there.  Also, the Mesa lib DLL's were copied
+there by the Mesa lib build process.  Therefore, you should be able to
+simply run the demo executables from the demo directory.
+
+If you want to run the demos from the Visual Studio, you may have to
+change the startup directory and explicitly state where the executables are.
+
+
+Build System Notes
+----- ------ -----
+
+VC6
+---
+
+Visual Studio 6 does not recognize files with the .cc extension as C++
+language files, without a lot of unnatural tweaking.  So, the VC6
+build process uses custom build steps to compile these files in the
+GLU library.
+
+
+VC7
+---
+
+The above-mentioned .cc problem does not exist in this version.
+
+
+General
+-------
+
+After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
+PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
+in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
+executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
+the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.
+
+The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
+stdcall calling convention.
+
+Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
+the linker import files associated with the DLL files.
+
+The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
+mainly to get the better tessellator code.
+
+To build "mangled" Mesa, add the preprocessor define USE_MGL_NAMESPACE
+to the project settings.  You will also need to edit src/mesa.def to
+change all the gl* symbols to mgl*.  Because this is easy to do with a
+global replace operation in a text editor, no additional mangled
+version of mesa.def is maintained or shipped.
+
+If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, it is
+probably better to direct it to me (kschultz@users.sourceforge.net),
+rather than directly to the other Mesa developers.  I will help you as
+much as I can.  I also monitor the Mesa mailing lists and will answer
+questions in this area there as well.
