I'm happy to post here my testbed application hoping that someone
like hybrid commits a complete solution in svn :) obviously
not my quick and dirty one...

Feel free to improve this example...

Code: Select all

#include <unistd.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
#include <irrlicht.h>
using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace gui;

static IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node;
static bool running;

static void destroy_handler(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
	running = false;
}

static void buttons_handler(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
	int bdata;

	bdata = *(int *)data;
	switch (bdata) {
	case(scene::EMAT_STAND):
		node->setFrameLoop(1,320);
		break;

	case(scene::EMAT_RUN):
		node->setMD2Animation(scene::EMAT_RUN);
		break;

	case(scene::EMAT_JUMP):
		node->setMD2Animation(scene::EMAT_JUMP);
		break;
	}
}

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	// gtk stuff
	GtkWidget *window, *fix, *drawing_area, *button;
	char mode, *blabels[] = { "Stand", "Run", "Jump" };

Cool, stef_. Although I'm really noob in GTK, so I get linkage errors.
Please, provide Makefile and if the neccesary modules aren't compiled in that Makefile tell me how to compile them separately, because I don't know *cpp's which refer to #include'd *h's.
Thanks.
Open Source all the way, baby ;)

I figured out how to compile it, I had to link it with (in case of Slackware) libgtk-x11-2.0 and libXx86vm. But mixed mode doesn't work:

Code: Select all

kornerr@kornerr:~/cpp/irr/gtk$ ./test 
Please select the mode you want for this example:
 (g)tk only
 (i)rrlicht only
 (m)ixed gtk & irrlicht

m
Irrlicht Engine version 1.2
Linux 2.6.17-mm6 #1 PREEMPT Tue Oct 24 12:19:49 KRAST 2006 i686
The program 'test' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 166 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 31)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

EDIT
My Makefile:

Code: Select all

test: irr_gtk.cpp
        g++ -o test irr_gtk.cpp -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lIrrlicht -lGL -lGLU -lXxf86vm -I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/local/include/irrlicht -g -Wall -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11/lib

clean:
        rm -f test *~

Mhm, every time a library comes with a pkg-config file I use it when compiling. Of course gtk (as well as all other gnome libs)
comes with a .pc file, so simply add `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs` to a irrlicht/examples Makefile.
BTW all .pc files are in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/.

> But mixed mode doesn't work:
Compile irrlicht in debug mode and do a step by step in CIrrDeviceLinux::createWindow or (if you don't want to recompile all irrlicht
library) add some debug printf in CIrrDeviceLinux::createWindow (your
problem should be there).

It works ok with software2 driver! COOL!
But with OpenGL it crashes:

 (i)rrlicht only
 (m)ixed gtk & irrlicht

It's required to have the window with certain OpenGL settings, or proceed with the OpenGL setup found in the createWindow function. Something is missing in your case which leads to a mismatch, e.g. in color format.

I wish someone who knows the issues this well could make Irrlicht work with OpenGL in GTK...

Mhm, I'm reading a little more CIrrDeviceLinux.cpp::createWindow(...)
and by now I can also say "my path" inside this function.

There is a section like this (pseudocode):

Code: Select all

        if (DriverType==video::EDT_OPENGL) {
                isAvailableGLX = glXQueryExtension(...)
                glXQueryVersion(..., &maior, &minor)
                if (major==1 && minor>2) {
                        glXChooseFBConfig(...)
                        UseGLXWindow=true;
                        visual = glXGetVisualFromFBConfig(...)
                } else {
                        visual = glXChooseVisual(...)       <<<<<<<
                }
        }
        ...
        colormap = XCreateColormap(...)
        ...
        if (isAvailableGLX && DriverType==video::EDT_OPENGL)
        if (UseGLXWindow) {
        } else {
                 Context = glXCreateContext(....);    <<<<<<<
        }
I have marked with "<<<<<<<" my path.
for me major = 1 and minor = 2 and so UseGLXWindow is always false.
Is it the same for you?
Where is your visual configured?

In my case major == 1 && minor == 3, so UseGLXWindow is true for me.
And my path is:

Code: Select all

        if (isAvailableGLX && glXQueryVersion(display, &major, &minor))
        {
            if (major==1 && minor>2)
            {
            - - - -
                if (configList)
                {
                    glxFBConfig=configList[0];
                    XFree(configList);
                    UseGLXWindow=true;
                    printf ("here visual\n");
                    visual = glXGetVisualFromFBConfig(display,glxFBConfig);
                }
            }
            else
            {
            - - - -
            }
Thanks.

here is an allmost working implimentation of wx under linux

for some reason unknown to me

Code: Select all

Display* mDisp = GDK_WINDOW_XDISPLAY(handle->window); crashes the program

but the GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(handle->window); works fine
