They're a supported target, so you get - them in a straightforward way (see below). - - The testing of these libraries was limited to the supplied - demos/examples and a quite small number of third-party apps. - No warranty ... as usual ... ;-) - - -2) Instructions to build Mesa 3.x for XFree86/OS2 from sources: - - Except the official Mesa source distribution you need: - - a recent version of XFree86 (3.3.x or above) including - the programming libraries - - EMX 0.9c (0.9d might work, never checked) - - GNU make - - REXX (!) - - The creation of the DLLs as well as of the static libraries - (if you want to have them) is handled in "mklib-emx.cmd", - a small REXX script. Perhaps not the best idea, but this - way it fits best in the scheme used to build libraries - on all platforms in Mesa 3.x. - - To actually build the libraries and demos, check mklib-emx.cmd - and modify it as desired. Then type - make os2-x11 - and wait for completion ;-) - - -3) History - - Initially Darren Abbott (abbott@hiwaay.net) ported Mesa versions 2.x - to XFree86 OS/2. This port might still be available from - http://fly.HiWAAY.net/~abbott/xfree86-os2/xfree86.html - - The current port picked up things during the beta test for 3.0. - No major changes in the source were done. The build mechanism under OS/2 - has been made very similar to other platforms (if you treat mklib-emx.cmd - as a "black box"). - Advantage is that X/2 is now a valid target and all files are - integrated in the official source distribution. - Disadvantage is that this port (i.e. the DLLs' interface itself) is - definitly NOT COMPATIBLE to those of version 2.x. - It's uncertain whether this would be at all possible but since there - a _very_ few those apps it's not worth to find out anyway. - Also some libs (MesaTK, MesaAUX) are withdrawn from the Mesa distribution, - and accordingly from the OS/2 port. - -4) Todo - - By now binary compatiblity is ensured by using the function names - as entry points instead of ordinals. This might cost performance and - is subject to change in future. In addition the supplied X86 assembler - source is not used yet. - -5) Mesa Home Page - - You can get the source code and more information about Mesa from - http://www.mesa3d.org/ - - The OS/2 ports should be available from - http://r350.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~hcchu/os2/ports - --- -Alexander Mai -st002279@hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de |
