Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]11<p>Mesa implements OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0. More informations about
12OpenGL ES can be found at <a href="http://www.khronos.org/opengles/"
13target="_parent"> http://www.khronos.org/opengles/</a>.</p>

Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]15<p>OpenGL ES depends on a working EGL implementation. Please refer to
16<a href="egl.html">Mesa EGL</a> for more information about EGL.</p>

Chia-I Wu12583172011-01-07 17:24:16 +0800[diff] [blame^]20<li>Run <code>configure</code> with <code>--enable-gles1 --enable-gles2</code> and enable the Gallium driver for your hardware.</li>
Chia-I Wud8299af2010-01-11 18:25:03 +0800[diff] [blame]21<li>Build and install Mesa as usual.</li>

Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]24Alternatively, if XCB-DRI2 is installed on the system, one can use
25<code>egl_dri2</code> EGL driver with OpenGL|ES-enabled DRI drivers

28<li>Run <code>configure</code> with <code>--enable-gles1 --enable-gles2</code>.</li>
29<li>Build and install Mesa as usual.</li>
30</ol>
31
32<p>Both methods will install libGLESv1_CM, libGLESv2, libEGL, and one or more
33EGL drivers for your hardware.</p>

59
Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]60<p>OpenGL ES has an additional indirection when dispatching fucntions</p>
Chia-I Wud8299af2010-01-11 18:25:03 +0800[diff] [blame]61
62<pre>
63 Mesa: glFoo() --&gt; _mesa_Foo()
Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]64 OpenGL ES: glFoo() --&gt; _es_Foo() --&gt; _mesa_Foo()
Chia-I Wud8299af2010-01-11 18:25:03 +0800[diff] [blame]65</pre>
66
67<p>The indirection serves several purposes</p>
68
69<ul>
70<li>When a function is in Mesa and the type matches, it checks the arguments and calls the Mesa function.</li>
71<li>When a function is in Mesa but the type mismatches, it checks and converts the arguments before calling the Mesa function.</li>
72<li>When a function is not available in Mesa, or accepts arguments that are not available in OpenGL, it provides its own implementation.</li>
73</ul>
74
Chia-I Wu2e3c4e42010-05-07 14:13:08 +0800[diff] [blame]75<p>Other than the last case, OpenGL ES uses <code>APIspec.xml</code> to generate functions to check and/or converts the arguments.</p>
