[Mesa-users] Compiling Mesa 8.0.1 on Windows using SCons

[Charles Huber]

Install MinGW and MSYS, then use "mingw-get install msys-flex
msys-bison" inside a MSYS console (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat) to
install flex and bison.

That gave me flex 2.5.35 and bison 2.4.2, which seem to work fine with Mesa.

Don't forget to add some path entries pointing to C:\MinGW\bin and
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin.

If you're trying to build OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 you'll need libxml2-python:
http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/python/libxml2-python-2.7.7.win32-py2.7.exe

Beware the link stage takes an absurd amount of time, ~23 minutes a 2.66Ghz i7.
