 workspaces and projects.  Makefiles are no longer shipped or supported, but
 can be generated from the projects using Visual Studio.
 
+The workspace and project files were created with Visual Studio 6, so that

 Details and Notes
 
 - To build the Mesa libraries, open the Mesa.dsw workspace file
-  in the top directory.  You can build each project one-by-one,
-  or build the glut project to build everything except osmesa,
-  which needs to be built separately.  The build process will
-  create a lib directory in the top directory and will put the
-  following files there:
-	OPENGL32.LIB, GLU32.LIB, GLUT32.LIB, OSMESA32.LIB
-	OPENGL32.DLL, GLU32.DLL, GLUT32.DLL, OSMESA32.DLL
+  in the top directory.  You will need to build at least one
+  driver.  Currently, only the gdi and osmesa drivers are available.
+  Select one or the other as the active project and build it.
+  If you want glu, select the glu project as active and build that as well.

+- Glut is no longer in the Mesa.dsw workspace.  It is now built in
+  the demo workspace (see below).

+- The build process will create a lib directory in the top directory 
+  and will put the following files there as you build them:
+	OPENGL32.LIB, GLU32.LIB, OSMESA32.LIB
+	OPENGL32.DLL, GLU32.DLL, OSMESA32.DLL
+
+- Some users have reported problems building glu with VS7 after importing
+  and converting the VS6 project files.  The problem is caused by a custom
+  build step that was put in place to work around a problem with VS6 not
+  recognizing .cc files as C++ source files.  It appears that VS7 can be
+  configured to recognize .cc files as C++ files and so it compiles these
+  glu files with the default settings, and does not use settings that are
+  required to compile the files correctly.  The easiest way to solve the
+  problem is to remove the .cc files from the glu project.  This does not
+  delete the files, but removes them from the project so that VS does not
+  try to compile them at all.  This allows the custom build step to compile 
+  the files with the proper settings.

 - The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
