Running OGRE3D on Weston (Wayland + XWayland)

Post by psyke1 »

Ogre Version: 1.12.11
Operating System: Linux 5.4.77
Render System: OpenGL ES 2

Hi

I have an Apalis i.MX8QM from Toradex. I am using their Linux version called TorizonCore, which uses Docker debian-based containers. So I have Weston running on a container with XWayland enabled.
I compiled OGRE3D successfully in another container, using the following Dockerfile:

Code: Select all

The problem is that I try to run SampleBrowser but it fails. This is the ogre.log:

Pavel pointed me that I must use XWayland in order to see something, or implement a WaylandWindow in Ogre/RenderSystems/GLSupport/src/EGL/X11/OgreX11EGLSupport.cpp. I searched through the Ogre source code and tried to understand it, but I am a bit too new to go for the WaylandWindow approach, as I don't know how to implement that. Anyways, I have XWayland running and I don't know why the SampleBrowser doesn't manage to run. I checked with xeyes app from x11-apps package and it ran, and I also have XWayland enabled in weston.ini file in /etc/xdg/weston with this content:

Code: Select all

[core]
idle-time=0
require-input=false
xwayland=true

[shell]
background-image=
background-color=0x00000000
panel-position=none
locking=false
allow-zap=false
num-workspaces=1

[keyboard]
vt-switching=false
I tried all render systems (except DirectX ones and Metal) without succeed.
I also tried calling cmake with -DOGRE_SUPPORT_USE_EGL=1 but nothing changed.

I would like to know if I am doing something wrong, or to know what I should learn in order to run OGRE3D. As I am pretty new in Linux, when I found out about the existence of Wayland, X11, EGL, GLX and all those things, I've got a little overwhelmed, and I don't know where to start.

Thank you in advance

Hi!

I'm no longer familiar with this part in Ogre 1.x, so I can't help you much, but I think I spotted that this:

Should be OGRE_GLSUPPORT_USE_EGL

Hi Matias

It was a typo in my post. I compiled it with the correct keyword, OGRE_GLSUPPORT_USE_EGL, because I copied it from the Changelog posted by Pavel.

(By the way, It's nice to know there's an argentinean in Ogre's development team :D)

Cheers.

that should not happen.

Can you provide a backtrace for this with gdb? I.e.

gdb SampleBrowser

r
(wait till crash)
bt

so it actually segfaults inside "Ogre::Exception::getFullDescription"

this seems messed up. Try doing a clean rebuild and see whether it helps.

Otherwise entering "catch throw" before "r" will break on all exceptions and you can try to find the root cause of this.

Talking with Toradex team, they told me that the i.MX8's drivers doesn't support X11, and GLX needs that. I am totally new in these topics.
My question is, is there any alternative to make this work? Otherwise, what should be added/modified in OGRE source code in order to make it work in an i.MX8, and how hard you think it is for me, considering it's my first time with these things?

Regards,
Tomás

you lost OGRE_GLSUPPORT_USE_EGL again with this one.

anyway.. if xwayland is running, it should translate both X11 & GLX to wayland for you. So it is either not configured correctly or not running on ":0".

The alternative to the xwayland translation layer is to implement that "WaylandWindow" backend for Ogre that I mentioned previously.
Whether this is hard, depends how well you understand any of these samples:
https://www.google.com/search?q=wayland+egl+sample

if you get one of them running, you can try squeezing that into the Ogre GLSupport code.

got to use a similar Docker environment and arrived at this error too. The source is eglInitialize failing. No idea why this corrupts the exception.
Anyway.. the solution for me was using "FROM nvidia/opengl:1.2-glvnd-runtime-ubuntu20.04" instead of "FROM ubuntu:20.04"

The most likely reason for that to happen is that at some point the error message being thrown is an std::string which was fed at some point with a nullptr C string (e.g. eglQueryString/getDisplayName returning nullptr), which will cause strlen to crash inside std::string.

This is extremely suspicious:

Code: Select all

OGRE_EXCEPT(Exception::ERR_RENDERINGAPI_ERROR,
			"Couldn`t open EGLDisplay " + getDisplayName(),
			"EGLSupport::getGLDisplay");
If getDisplayName returns nullptr, the crash being reported would be explained.

yes, I thought about that one too - but its this one:
https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre/blob/m ... rt.cpp#L67

and the garbage content is in "typeName" and "file", while the rest is fine - go figure..

edit:
If getDisplayName returns nullptr, the crash being reported would be explained.
that would crash at throwing time, but it crashes at catching in e.what()

finally figured this one out!

the issue is that "Exception" defers the building error string until the "getFullDescription" call.

Now the contents of "file" come from the __FILE__ macro that has static storage duration, but puts the data inside the GLES2 Plugin. That plugin was already unloaded when we called "getFullDescription", so static does not save us anymore and we got a dangling pointer.

The solution is to build the error message right away instead of doing premature optimisations..
