+Quick Start
+----- -----
+
+Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
+no longer shipped or supported.
+
+Run
+
+ scons osmesa mesagdi
+
+to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or
+
+ scons libgl-gdi
+
+to build gallium based GDI driver.
+
+
+Windows Drivers
+------- -------
+
+At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.
+
+Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
+src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.
+
+
+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.
+
+If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
+to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
