Roland Scheidegger b2b2a2c06c gallivm: add smallfloat to float conversion not relying on cpu denorm handling
The previous code relied on cpu denorm support for converting small float
formats (such r11g11b10_float and r16_float) to floats, otherwise denorms
are flushed to zero. We worked around that in llvmpipe blend code by
reenabling denorms, but this did nothing for texture sampling. Now it would
be possible to reenable it there too but I'm not really a fan of messing
with fpu flags (and it seems we can't actually do it reliably with llvm in
any case looking at some bug reports). (Not to mention if you actually have
a lot of denorms in there, you can expect some order-of-magnitude slowdown
with x86 cpus.)
So instead use code which adjusts exponents etc. directly hence not relying
on cpu denorm support for the rescaling mul.
(We still need the fpu flag handling as we can't do float-to-smallfloat
without using cpu denorms at least for now - I actually wanted to keep
both the old and new code and using one or the other depending on from where
it's called but that didn't work out as the parameter would have to be passed
through too many layers than I'd like.)

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 osmesa mesagdi

to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or

  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.

1) install python 2.7
2) install scons (latest)
3) install mingw, flex, and bison
4) install libxml2 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get libxml2-python-2.9.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
5) install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
6) install git
7) download mesa from git
  see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
8) 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.
