Well, the AI is still infantile but the coffee smells good :-)
The first experimental patch is now available from
http://picasso.ffii.org/mesa/mesa-ac.diff.gz
I supports 3Dnow, x86 assembler, X11, Glide, GGI, SVGAlib,
OSmesa and should work on most Unix-ish platforms.
After you have applied the patch you'll have to chmod +x
the files bootstrap, config.guess, config.sub,
ltconfig and ltmain.sh (the latest libtool 1.3.2a
is included).
To generate the configure script and Makefile.in's
you'll need autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4.
Just execute ./bootstrap and it will create them for you.
Whenever you make larger changes to configure.in or
a Makefile.am you should execute this script to regenerate
the other files.
Then you can use ./configure (configure --help prints some
help, INSTALL contains more detailed information for the user).
If you want mesa.conf to be installed in /etc you should
pass --sysconfdir=/etc to configure.
"make" builds Mesa and GLU, "make install" installs them.
"make check" builds the demos and "make exec" can be used
to execute them.
A distributable snapshot that was generated using "make dist"
is available from
http://picasso.ffii.org/mesa/mesa-ac.tar.gz
Please test it.
Thanks.
