| <h1>OpenGL ES</h1> |
| |
| <p>Mesa implements OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0. More information about |
| OpenGL ES can be found at <a href="https://www.khronos.org/opengles/"> |
| https://www.khronos.org/opengles/</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>OpenGL ES depends on a working EGL implementation. Please refer to |
| <a href="egl.html">Mesa EGL</a> for more information about EGL.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Build the Libraries</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Run <code>configure</code> with <code>--enable-gles1 --enable-gles2</code> and enable the Gallium driver for your hardware.</li> |
| <li>Build and install Mesa as usual.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| Alternatively, if XCB-DRI2 is installed on the system, one can use |
| <code>egl_dri2</code> EGL driver with OpenGL|ES-enabled DRI drivers |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Run <code>configure</code> with <code>--enable-gles1 --enable-gles2</code>.</li> |
| <li>Build and install Mesa as usual.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Both methods will install libGLESv1_CM, libGLESv2, libEGL, and one or more |
| EGL drivers for your hardware.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Run the Demos</h2> |
| |
| <p>There are some demos in <code>mesa/demos</code> repository.</p> |
| |

| <h3>Dispatch Table</h3> |
| |
| <p>OpenGL ES has an additional indirection when dispatching functions</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| Mesa: glFoo() --> _mesa_Foo() |
| OpenGL ES: glFoo() --> _es_Foo() --> _mesa_Foo() |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p>The indirection serves several purposes</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>When a function is in Mesa and the type matches, it checks the arguments and calls the Mesa function.</li> |
| <li>When a function is in Mesa but the type mismatches, it checks and converts the arguments before calling the Mesa function.</li> |
| <li>When a function is not available in Mesa, or accepts arguments that are not available in OpenGL, it provides its own implementation.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Other than the last case, OpenGL ES uses <code>APIspec.xml</code> to generate functions to check and/or converts the arguments.</p> |
