Source code of the Irrlicht Engine
|
|
|
|
The complete source of the Irrlicht Engine can be found in this directory.
|
|
Please note that YOU DO NOT NEED THIS SOURCE to develop 3d applications with
|
|
the Irrlicht Engine. Instead, please use the .dll in the \bin directory, the
|
|
.lib in the \lib directory and the header files in the \include directory.
|
|
|
|
You will find a good tutorial how to set up your development environment and to
|
|
use the engine in the \examples directory. (Try 01.helloworld)
|
|
|
|
The source of the engine is included because for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
- To let developers be able to debug the engine.
|
|
- To let developers be able to make changes to the engine.
|
|
- To let developers be able to compile their own versions of the engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO COMPILE THE ENGINE WITH LINUX
|
|
|
|
If you wish to compile the engine for Linux yourself, run a 'make' in the
|
|
folder 'source/Irrlicht'. After this, you should be able to make all example
|
|
applications in examples. Then just run them from the directory where they are
|
|
built.
|
|
For the necessary compiler and linker flags please check the provided Makefiles
|
|
in the examples directories.
|
|
|
|
Only the Software Drivers and the Null Driver will work on all Linux machines,
|
|
while OpenGL support requires either GLX support of the X11 server (try glxinfo)
|
|
or a software OpenGL solution such as Mesa.
|
|
|
|
If you get a compiling/linking problem like
|
|
|
|
undefined reference to `glXGetProcAddress'
|
|
|
|
This is a problem introduced by the NVidia drivers. There are several solutions:
|
|
A) Update your drivers. All versions with GLX 1.4 support (i.e. beginning with
|
|
12/2005) will work.
|
|
B) Define the symbol _IRR_GETPROCADDRESS_WORKAROUND_ during compilation of
|
|
COpenGLDriver.cpp, either by adding it to the compiler command line or by
|
|
uncommenting the line defining this symbol inside the OpenGL driver source.
|
|
This will force the use of glXGetProcAddressARB which has better chances to
|
|
work on older systems.
|
|
|
|
If you get compiling or runtime problems regarding XF86VidMode, Xxf86vm.so, or
|
|
the XFree86 VidMode extension you have also several solutions:
|
|
A) Install the extension for your X server or the developer package in case of
|
|
compiler/linker problems.
|
|
B) Disable the VidMode usage by disabling the define _IRR_LINUX_X11_VIDMODE_ in
|
|
include/IrrCompileConfig.h
|
|
In this case you might give the RandR extension a try (by enabling the
|
|
next define in that file) which also provides fullscreen support under Linux.
|
|
If both extensions fail you won't have fullscreen support for Irrlicht.
