Kenneth Graunke 80761a42e0 i965/drm: Drop code to search for an existing bufmgr.
This functionality was added by libdrm commit
743af59669386cb6e063fa4bd85f0a0b2da86295 (intel: make bufmgr_gem
shareable from different API) in an attempt to solve libva/mesa buffer
sharing problems.  Specifically, this was working around an issue hit
by Chromium, which used the same drm_fd for multiple APIs, and shared
buffers between them.

This code attempted to work around that issue by using the same bufmgr
for both libva and Mesa.  It worked because libdrm_intel was loaded by
both libraries.  However, now that Mesa has forked, we don't have a
common library, and this code cannot work.

The correct solution is to have each API open its own file descriptor
(and get a corresponding buffer manager), and then use PRIME export
and import to share BOs across those APIs.  Then the kernel can manage
those shared resources.  According to Chris, the kernel will pass back
the same handle for a prime FD if the lookup is from the same device FD.

We believe Chromium has since moved to this model.

In Mesa, there is already only one screen per FD, and so there will
only be one bufmgr per FD.  We don't need any of this code.

v2: Add a big warning comment written by Chris Wilson.

File: docs/README.WIN32

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

- install python 2.7
- install scons (latest)
- install mingw, flex, and bison
- install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
- install git
- download mesa from git
  see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
- run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
