Mesa 4.0 for MinGW?

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Has anyone succeeded with building Mesa 4.0 for/with MinGW? The makefiles for Windows and the include files are horrible! Strange that a free OpenGL implementation only supports a $$$ compiler (MSVC).

Hi !

The readme.mingw32 says that you can use mingw32, you don’t need VC++, doesn’t that work ?

It says something cryptic about installing MinGW and then running “mingw32.bat”. Unfortunately, there is no such bat file in the 4.0 distribution (it seems that readme.mingw32 is for the 3.3 release).

Hi !

I think the best thing would be to post your question on the Mesa mailing list, I think they would be able to give you more help.
