tl;dr: For many types of GL object, we can *NEVER* use the Gen function. In OpenGL ES (all versions!) and OpenGL compatibility profile, applications don't have to call Gen functions. The GL spec is very clear about how you can mix-and-match generated names and non-generated names: you can use any name you want for a particular object type until you call the Gen function for that object type. Here's the problem scenario: - Application calls a meta function that generates a name. The first Gen will probably return 1. - Application decides to use the same name for an object of the same type without calling Gen. Many demo programs use names 1, 2, 3, etc. without calling Gen. - Application calls the meta function again, and the meta function replaces the data. The application's data is lost, and the app fails. Have fun debugging that.

File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 21 June 2013 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. 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. Recipe ------ Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are steps that work as of this writing. - install python 2.7 - install scons (latest) - install mingw, flex, and bison - install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe - install git - download mesa from git see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html - run scons 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.
