How to start developing on Gallium?

[Philipp Rosenberger]

Hi,

I'm a student and I word at IBM Research and Development Germany in my
internship. Parallel to my main-project I have the chance to
develop/port a software to the Cell Broadband Engine. I found the
Cell-Gallium driver on mesa3d.org and I think it would be a nice project
to do some development on the driver.

I'm completely new in developing on mesa, gallium or opengl. Are there
some documents or something like this which I should read or which can
help me starting?


Kind regards,

Philipp Rosenberger

Instructions for downloading Mesa/gallium from git are on the website.
The Cell page describes how to build/run the driver.

From there, it's just a matter of studying the code to learn how it

works, then finding some aspect of it to work on.

If you have specific questions, post them here.

There are a few disconnected pieces of documentation with several
degrees of incompleteness and somewhat dated.

- http://www.tungstengraphics.com/wiki/index.php/Gallium3D -- overall
description and some presentation slides

- http://dri.freedesktop.org/doxygen/gallium/ -- useful just as a
hyper text code navigation system

- http://jrfonseca.blogspot.com/2008/04/gallium3d-introduction.html a
simple intro

But at the end of the day you should just start getting started
building and trying the cell driver, look at the code and then start
making questions. Tungsten is actively developing the cell driver.
Brian Paul would be the person to contact. Ian Romanick also worked on
it as you may be aware.

I'm struggling with getting in gallium. As i wrote, I'm completely new
to all this and I think miss some basics. Is there a good place to find
informations about shaders, vertex, polygon rasterization, .... I read
these in the doxygen docs.

If you need the definitions of shader, vertex, rasterization, etc. you
should probably read a few graphics text books. They're basic topics.

If you have questions about those things in Gallium, please be more
specific.
