Mesa 5.1 and 6.0 implementation of ARB_fp

[ZbuffeR]

I would like to try a (nice looking) offset bump mapping demo, but I only have a GF3.
link: http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/Forum3/HTML/011267.html

The Mesa team claim that ARB_vp and ARB_fp are emulated, but not on a very stable state.

Ok, so I compiled Mesa 5.1 with MinGW under windows, got a nice opengl32.dll, put it under the same folder as the demo executable.
Result : segmentation fault just afer window creation. (without Mesa the prog just says that there is no ARB_fp and stops cleanly).

I had some warnings during copilation of Mesa, but nothing seemed really specially worrying. I tried the Mesa 6.0 release candidate too, at http://mesa3d.org/beta/MesaLib-6.0-rc1.tar.gz , but it segfaults at the very same point.
Well, I can’t believe that a simple glTranslatef can crash Mesa !!!

As I would really like to work it out, anyone can point me if it is Mesa complete fault, my compilation or MinGW setup, or else ?
I would really appreciate if a someone could test this under linux, as both Mesa and the offsetmap are mostly developped for linux environment.

GDB trace follows :

Well, nobody seems interested in software emulation of fp/vp, you all have high-end cards or what ???

I tried many things with the Mesa 6.0 library, it does work with vertex programs, but any fragment program seems to make it crash at strange places. Maybe I will have to wait further.

However, I would be glad that a linux user could test that.

Thanks.

You are asking a Windows question in a Linux forum. hint

The only thing I ask is that someone test a linux lib and a linux prog on a computer with a linux OS.

Please.

Have you tried running any of the simple demos in progs/demos/?

I can assure you, Mesa generally works great on Linux.

I have run many GL programs with Mesa, all of them work well. The only crashes I get is when ARB_fragment_programs are used. No problem with ARB_vertex_program, though. Do you have a working fp based program running with Mesa 6.0 ?
