Running Ogre Application in Wine

[Lax]

Hi,

I'm trying to run my Engine in Wine. First I have choosen OpenGL, but that did not work. Then a have chosen DirectX and this is the error message:

Code: Select all

10:57:13: OGRE EXCEPTION(-2147024809:RenderingAPIException): Error creating dummy textures
Error Description:infoQ exceptions are turned off in D3D11TextureGpuManager::D3D11TextureGpuManager at C:\Users\lukas\Documents\GameEngineDevelopment\external\Ogre2.2SDK\RenderSystems\Direct3D11\src\OgreD3D11TextureGpuManager.cpp (line 159)

Has anybody an idea, how to fix that?
Is anybody using a kind of Ogre application on ubuntu with wine?

Best Regards
Lax

I use wine from PPA. The version bundled with Ubuntu is a little old. IIRC I use wine-staging which may be unstable but runs the latest D3D fixes.

I don't know why OpenGL failed, it should work out of the box.

As for D3D11, you'll have to install dxvk and the D3DCompiler DLL that Ogre needs (there are various, which one depends on the SDK version you build your app).
The best way to install all that is to run winetricks and ask it to install dxvk and all the D3DCompilerXX.dll.

After that it should be working.

Why not porting the engine to Linux?

Shouldn't be so hard with Ogre...

Hi,

ok, I will test that with directX.

Why not porting the engine to Linux?

I'm really afraid in doing this. I'm a linux beginner and the engine has grown over the years.

OK, but try it.

Might not be so bad...

Having linux support is a good feature in my opinion.

And you don't have to be a linux expert.

Its probably more setting up linux for c++ development that is the hurdle.
