[Mesa-dev] Haiku Mesa status

[Alexander von Gluck]

Good morning!

I really appreciate Mesa being open to accepting the Haiku patches.

The Haiku support is close to done. Given the current patches applied (plus 
a few small tweaks mentioned below), Mesa (and a few Gallium drivers!) build 
under Haiku.

Here is whats left for the basic build...

  * Haiku makefile.
    - Mesa is moving away from makefiles to auto tools, while getting 
autotools to work for Haiku may be possible.. it is difficult and I have not 
succeeded yet.
    - Right now I am using an un-pushed haiku make "configs" file
  * libGLU will only build as a shared library
    - This seems incorrect as a few makefiles in the Mesa configs attempt to 
build it as static via "GLU_LIB_NAME = libGLU.a"


Anyway, I have a mesa build script which generates this file which is pulled 
in and used by the Haiku build process:
http://pub.haikufire.com/mesa/mesa-04e6db8-gcc4-x86.zip

So far things are looking good, we are getting close to a usable build 
process giving us the latest Mesa while putting minimal strain on the Mesa 
project as we don't have dedicated mesa developers.

Thanks!
