Hardware 3D in a window demo

Sorry, I'm a noob at this ... I've been trying to compile this example but I haven't got the 'eglext_brcm.h' file - where do I get this from? I've got all the includes from the hello_triangle example.
Any help appreciated! Thanks.

The easiest way is to use Hexxeh's updater: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update There are lots of dependences and you should start by doing:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Then install the certificates. You need to install git too (when you try to run the updater it will fail and tell you how to install git). Then the updater needs to be run with the 192 switch so that the GPU has enough ram. Finally to compile the demo you also need to have the libx library installed

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get libx11-dev

Just stumbled on this thread and it looks like just what I need...

But I tried to build the code give at the start and it fails...

g++ -I/opt/vc/include -lX11 -lEGL -lGLESv2 test.cpp

There is however a vcos_platform_types.h in /opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads/vcos_platform_types.h Is that the same file as the one identified aas missing ?

Try:

Code: Select all

g++ -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -lX11 -lEGL -lGLESv2 test.cpp

Try:

Code: Select all

g++ -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -lX11 -lEGL -lGLESv2 test.cpp

Thanks for the quick reply Dom,
Yes, I arrived at that solution as you posted it So now it compiles, but ...

Code: Select all

pi@PiFive ~/openGLES/teh_orph $ ./egl_example
shader info: Compiledshader info: CompiledX Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  73 (X_GetImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  14

I see from the thread that this is a problem due to running X in 32 bit mode. No solution was posted though

I decided to try shirro's code from git hub, and with the same "include path fix" it is working
Now the fun can start

As a bit of an update to this, as the userland code has now been released I'm trying to see if I can massage that library to allow EGL/X code to "just work" without changes. The girlfriend is away this weekend so hopefully I'll get some work done on this front! ("don't code" she said whilst walking out the door)

I've been out , and now after turning my Pi back on again the code that was working in now failing with the same error as Simon's code ..... WTF ?

And I just ran it again to cut and paste the error message... And it's working again... Double WTF ?

PeterO

It looks like something is leaking as well as now it just gives a SegFault (same binary).

I hope you can make it "just work" because now I've looked at the earlier code I realise it is really a hack with the openGL image not actually being properly linked to the Xwindow. The image is "manually" copied between the openGLES image and the Xwindow This is actually not going to be of much use to me I now realise
PeterO

Yeah I have no idea why it would work one time but not another. Sounds like some EGL funk...
Anyway I'm trying to craft a modified library that will internally do the copy. So nothing will change - you just won't see it.

I get this error like 90% of the time i run this...


X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage)
Serial number of failed request: 14
Current serial number in output stream: 14


I came up with a fix that seems to help but its not elegant.

XGetWindowAttributes(x_display, win, &gwa);

int iEvent =0;
for(iEvent =0; iEvent < 10; iEvent++)
{
if(XPending(x_display))
{ // check for events from the x-server
XEvent xev;
XNextEvent(x_display, &xev);
}
usleep(1000*10);
}

bool quit = false;

Raspberry Pi EGL on X: Update 10 Apr 2013
----------------------------------------

This is an update of eglonx for Raspberry pi. Fixing some crashes on start up and
a pixel swapping error on the software conversion to 565 for drawing on to the X
window. Also added more complete handling of X window mouse and expose
events.

Fixed startup crash by replacing this:

Ximage = XGetImage(Xdsp, Xwin, 0, 0, Xgwa.width, Xgwa.height, AllPlanes, ZPixmap);

with

char *buf = (char *)malloc(Xgwa.width*Xgwa.height*2);
Ximage = XCreateImage(Xdsp,
DefaultVisual(Xdsp, DefaultScreen(Xdsp)),
DefaultDepth(Xdsp, DefaultScreen(Xdsp)),
ZPixmap, 0, buf, Xgwa.width, Xgwa.height, 16, 0);

And added this on exit:

bcm_host_deinit();

I'm using to get a photo application running that uses OpenGL ES 2.0
for all the UI, etc. Work in progress video here:
