Notes on enabling EGL (ANGLE/D3D support) for Windows/Visual Studio builds
|
||
|
|
==========================================================================
|
||
|
|
There is now support in the GL context creation code for Windows in GDK for
|
||
|
|
creating and using EGL (OpenGL ES 3) contexts, which can be used instead of
|
||
|
|
the existing OpenGL (Desktop) support, especially when the graphics drivers
|
||
|
|
do not support OpenGL adequately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This support is not enabled by default in the project files. In order to do
|
||
|
|
so, please do the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-Obtain or compile a build of recent version of ANGLE. The one that comes
|
||
|
|
with QT 5.10.x is sufficiently recent, but not the one that comes with QT-
|
||
|
|
5.6.x. Note that Visual Studio 2013 or later is required for building
|
||
|
|
ANGLE from QT-5.10.x, but the Visual Studio 2013-built ANGLE DLLs does work
|
||
|
|
without problems with GTK+ built with Visual Studio 2008~2013. You may
|
||
|
|
need to obtain D3Dcompiler_[47|43|42].dll if it does not come with the
|
||
|
|
system (which is part of the DirectX runtimes). Its headers and .lib
|
||
|
|
needs to be set to be found by the compiler and linker respectively before
|
||
|
|
building libepoxy.
|
||
|
|
-Build libepoxy with EGL support, which has to be enabled explicitly on
|
||
|
|
Windows builds. Pass in -Degl=yes when building libepoxy using Meson.
|
||
|
|
Build and install, making sure the headers and .lib can be located by the
|
||
|
|
compiler and linker respectively.
|
||
|
|
-Open the vsX/gtk+.sln, and open the project properties in the "gdk3-win32"
|
||
|
|
project. Under "C/C++", add GDK_WIN32_ENABLE_EGL in the "Preprocessor
|
||
|
|
Definitions" to the existing definitions in there for the configuration
|
||
|
|
that is being built. Then build the solution.
|
||
|
|
-To force the use of the EGL code, set the envvar GDK_GL=(...,)gles , where (...,)
|
||
|
|
are the other GDK_GL options desired.
