Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Premake 4.4 beta4
|
|
[http://industriousone.com/premake/download](http://industriousone.com/premake/download)
|
|
|
|
GNU make
|
|
Windows users download GNU make utility from:
|
|
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
|
|
|
|
### Getting source
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bx.git
|
|
git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx.git
|
|
cd bgfx
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
After calling make, .build/projects/* directory will be generated. All
|
|
intermediate files generated by compiler will be inside .build directory
|
|
structure. Deleting .build directory at any time is safe.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites for Linux
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites for Windows
|
|
|
|
When building on Windows, you have to set DXSDK_DIR environment variable to
|
|
point to DirectX SDK directory.
|
|
|
|
setx DXSDK_DIR <path to DirectX SDK directory>
|
|
|
|
If you're building with Visual Studio 2008, you'll need TR1 support from:
|
|
[Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Release](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6922)
|
|
|
|
If you're building with MinGW/TDM compiler on Windows make DirectX SDK
|
|
directory link to directory without spaces in the path.
|
|
|
|
mklink /D <path to DirectX SDK directory> c:\dxsdk
|
|
setx DXSDK_DIR c:\dxsdk
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites for Native Client (Pepper 22) on Windows
|
|
|
|
Download Native Client SDK from:
|
|
[https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download](https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download)
|
|
|
|
setx NACL <path to Native Client SDK directory>\toolchain\win_x86_newlib
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 command line:
|
|
|
|
make vs2008-release64
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 IDE:
|
|
|
|
start .build/projects/vs2008/bgfx.sln
|
|
|
|
Linux 64-bit:
|
|
|
|
make linux-release64
|
|
|
|
Other platforms:
|
|
|
|
make <configuration>
|
|
|
|
Configuration is `<platform>-<debug/release><32/64>`. For example:
|
|
|
|
linux-release32, nacl-debug64, android-release32, etc.
|
|
|

Internals
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
bgfx is using sort-based draw call bucketing. This means that submition order
|
|
doesn't necessarily matches the rendering order, but on the low-level they
|
|
will be sorted and ordered correctly. On the high level this allows
|
|
more optimal way of submitting draw calls for all passes at one place, and on
|
|
the low-level this allows better optimization of rendering order. This sometimes
|
|
creates undesired results usually for GUI rendering, where draw order should
|
|
usually match submit order. bgfx provides way to enable sequential rendering for
|
|
these cases (see `bgfx::setViewSeq`).
|
|
|
|
Internally all low-level rendering draw calls are issued inside single function
|
|
`Context::rendererSubmit`. This function exist inside each renderer backend
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
More detailed description of sort-based draw call bucketing can be found at:
|
|
[Order your graphics draw calls around!](http://realtimecollisiondetection.net/blog/?p=86)
|
|
|
|
Customization
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
By default each platform has sane default values. For example on Windows default
|
|
renderer is DirectX9, and on Linux it is OpenGL 2.1. On Windows platform all
|
|
rendering backends are available. For OpenGL ES on desktop you can find more
|
|
information at:-
|
|
[OpenGL ES 2.0 and EGL on desktop](http://www.g-truc.net/post-0457.html)
|
|
|
|
If you're targeting specific mobile hardware, you can find GLES support in their
|
|
official SDKs:
|
|
[Adreno SDK](http://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/mobile-technologies/gaming-graphics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources),
|
|
[Mali SDK](http://www.malideveloper.com/),
|
|
[PowerVR SDK](http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdkdownloads/).
|
|
|
|
All configuration settings are located inside [src/config.h](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/blob/master/src/config.h).
|
|
|
|
Every `BGFX_CONFIG_*` setting can be changed by passing defines thru compiler
|
|
switches. For example setting preprocessor define `BGFX_CONFIG_RENDERER_OPENGL=1`
|
|
on Windows will change backend renderer to OpenGL 2.1. on Windows. Since
|
|
rendering APIs are platform specific, this obviously won't work nor make sense
|
|
in all cases. Certain platforms have only single choice, for example the Native
|
|
Client works only with OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer, using anything other than that
|
|
will result in build errors.

Tools
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### Shader Compiler (shaderc)
|
|
|
|
bgfx cross-platform shader language is based on GLSL syntax. It's uses ANSI C
|
|
preprocessor to transform GLSL like language syntax into HLSL. This technique
|
|
has certain drawbacks, but overall it's simple and allows quick authoring of
|
|
cross-platform shaders.
|
|
|
|
### Texture Compiler (texturec)
|
|
|
|
This tool doesn't currently exist. Use nvdxt, or any other tool that produces
|
|
DDS textures for now.
|
|
|
|
### Geometry Compiler (geometryc)
|
|
|
|
Converts Wavefront .obj mesh file to format optimal for using with bgfx.
|
|
