[Mesa-users] mesa-users Digest, Vol 38, Issue 1

[Andrew Cunningham]

As I understand it, the last version of Mesa to support Windows GDI was 
7.8.2 (GL version 2.1)
All you need to do once Mesa is built is drop the MESA openGL32.dll into 
your application folder and it will use Mesa
I have prebuilt DLL's (Win32/Win64) if you want , or I can give you 
Visual Studio 2010 projects for building 7.8.2.
