<H2>Adding Extentions</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
To add a new GL extension to Mesa you have to do the following.
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
If glext.h doesn't define the extension, edit include/GL/gl.h and add:
|
|
|
|
|
- new enum tokens
|
|
|
|
|
- new API function entry points
|
|
|
|
|
- #define GL_EXT_the_extension_name 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If adding a new API function (call it glNewFunctionEXT):
|
|
|
|
|
- insert glNewFunctionEXT()into src/apiext.h
|
|
|
|
|
- edit src/types.h and add NewFunction to the gl_api_table struct
|
|
|
|
|
- implement gl_NewFunction() in the appropriate src file
|
|
|
|
|
- hook gl_NewFunction() into pointers.c
|
|
|
|
|
- add display list support in dlist.c for save_NewFunction()
|
|
|
|
|
- add glNewFunctionEXT to gl_GetProcAddress() in extensions.c or
|
|
|
|
|
in the device driver's GetProcAddress() function if appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If adding new GL state be sure to update get.c and enable.c
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In general, look for an extension similar to the new one that's already
|
|
|
|
|
implemented in Mesa and follow it by example.

<H2>Coding Style</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Mesa's code style has changed over the years. Here's the latest.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Comment your code! It's extremely important that open-source code be
|
|
|
|
|
well documented. Also, strive to write clean, easily understandable code.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
3-space indentation
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you use tabs, set them to 8 columns
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Brace example:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
if (condition) {
|
|
|
|
|
foo;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
else {
|
|
|
|
|
bar;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the GNU indent command which will best approximate my preferred style:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
indent -br -i3 -npcs infile.c -o outfile.c
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Local variable name example: localVarName (no underscores)
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Constants and macros are ALL_UPPERCASE, with _ between words
|
|
|
|
|

<H2>Making a New Mesa Release</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
These are the instructions for making a new Mesa release.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites (later versions may work):
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> autoconf 2.50
|
|
|
|
|
<li> automake 1.4-p2
|
|
|
|
|
<li> libtool 1.4
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Be sure to do a "cvs update -d ." in the Mesa directory to
|
|
|
|
|
get all the latest files.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Update the version strings in src/get.c and src/X/fakeglx.c to return
|
|
|
|
|
the new Mesa version number.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Create/edit the docs/RELNOTES-X-Y file to document what's new in the release.
|
|
|
|
|
Edit the docs/VERSIONS file too.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Edit Make-config and change the MESA_MAJOR and/or MESA_MINOR versions.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Edit the GNU configure stuff to change versions numbers as needed:
|
|
|
|
|
Update the version string (second argument) in the line
|
|
|
|
|
"AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(Mesa, 3.3)" in the configure.in file.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Remove the leading `dnl' from the line "dnl AM_MAINTAINER_MODE".
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Verify the version numbers near the top of configure.in
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Run "fixam -f" to disable automatic dependency tracking.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Run the bootstrap script to generate the configure script.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Edit Makefile.X11 and verify DIRECTORY is set correctly. The Mesa
|
|
|
|
|
sources must be in that directory (or there must be a symbolic link).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Edit Makefile.X11 and verify that LIB_NAME and DEMO_NAME are correct.
|
|
|
|
|
If it's a beta release, be sure the bump up the beta release number.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
cp Makefile.X11 to Makefile so that the old-style Mesa makefiles
|
|
|
|
|
still work. ./configure will overwrite it if that's what the user runs.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Make a symbolic link from $(DIRECTORY) to Mesa. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s Mesa Mesa-3.3 This is needed in order to make a correct
|
|
|
|
|
tar file in the next step.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Make the distribution files. From inside the Mesa directory:
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
make -f Makefile.X11 lib_tar
|
|
|
|
|
make -f Makefile.X11 demo_tar
|
|
|
|
|
make -f Makefile.X11 lib_zip
|
|
|
|
|
make -f Makefile.X11 demo_zip
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Copy the distribution files to a temporary directory, unpack them,
|
|
|
|
|
compile everything, and run some demos to be sure everything works.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Upload the *.tar.gz and *.zip files to ftp.mesa3d.org
|
|
|
|
|
