Unfortunately there is no standard way to install headers and libraries in windows -- there's no /usr/include or /usr/lib, and there might be multiple MSVC versions. There are ways around it, sure. Might be worth giving a shot eventually. > Really optimising for the wrong bunch of people here by dragging this > stuff into mesa git. Many projects do this: they include the source of other projects, to make it easier to build without having to build all dependencies. If this is still bothersome, I can make sure it's only built on non-unix platforms. We can even put in src/thirdparty/... or somewhere else out of the way. I really can't see how this causes inconvenience to anybody. Furthermore, I really don't know any wrong bunch of people here. But I do know at least one prejudiced person with delusions of grandeur.
