I’ve just managed to compile and install Mesa3D version 7.2 under Microsoft Windows (using MinGW). Here are the steps in case anyone else needs to know:
Install MinGW and MSYS Download and unpack MesaLib, MesaGLUT, and MesaDemos into the same directory. The files are available on SourceForge .
Open the file Mesa-7.2/Makefile.mgw in an editor and replace
Compile Mesa3D by executing make -f Makefile.mgw under MSYS
Copy the files Mesa-7.2/lib/lib*.a to the directory /mingw/lib
Copy the files Mesa-7.2/lib/*.dll to the directory /mingw/bin
Copy the content of Mesa-7.2/include to the directory /mingw/include
To test Mesa3D you can for example download SGI’s cube.c and compile it by executing
gcc -o cube cube.c -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lglut32

Are you also notoriously leading your department into problems by underspending on your budget? I am proposing a 3-step solution:
Send me e-mails with the expected amount of underspending
I will sum up the stated amounts
At the end of the fiscal year everyone transfers the money into an escrow acount to finance a new space program
Update: So far I have received estimates amounting to £60,000.

After reading the paper Lucas-Kanade 20 Years On: A Unifying Framework , I’ve implemented a Lucas-Kanade tracker with HornetsEye . The video shows tracking of a texture patch using a 2-D affine transform as model.
