[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 00/20] Automake cleanups and Cygwin fixes

[Emil Velikov]

Hi all,

An interesting cleanup series inspired by Jon Turney's tinderbox.

Highlights:
 - Cleanup unused configure.ac variables dating from the static makefile days.
 - Use platform specific library extension for links generation.
 - Move all the link generation in three files.
 - Make check fix when building without direct rendering.
 - A few cosmetic configure.ac fixes.
 - And last but not least, always build mesa shared. Most of the build system
assumed that already, so update the warning messages, and cleanup configure.

An interesting point brought my Jon, is that Cygwin needs to link all the dri
drivers agaist libglapi, which mesa explicitly does not do. AFAICS the idea
is that the correct glapi should be loaded (statically or dl_open'ed) by the
GL provider prior to managing the dri.

Does anyone know the reason behind this ?

The series can be found in the cygwin-fixes branch in my repo at

Review and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Emil
