Any good GL debug tool working under Linux ?

[eMKa]

GLInterceptor seems soooooo great but it’s a shame it’s windows-only…

I’m trying bugle at the moment, will report you the results.

I’m thinking of improving the current GL tracing which is done with Xith3D.

I’m thinking of improving the current GL tracing which is done with Xith3D.

I think I’ll just add stack traces to the current tracing code so we can know from where the GL calls come.

Nota : If you think I talk five times as much as I work on Xith3D, I work on my game five times as much as I talk about it…

Don’t worry. We all have our preferences. Your’s is your game and that’s just fine ;). This is an open source project people develop in their free time. So you need the decide, where to place your’s.

btw. Do you already have a (in some way) playable demo of your game?

Sometimes I’d like to work much more on Xith3D but I have serious focus problems (as I mentioned early)

Stratagem’s open-source too. Take a look if you want : http://sourceforge.net/projects/stratagemengine/

An alpha is planned for ~3 weeks.

Hey guys ! here’s a lill’ discussion I had with the creator of GLInterceptor :

me => him

 Hi,

  I'm a Developer of Xith3D (    http://www.xith.org/    ) and 
 we would like to
  improve our OpenGL rendering pipeline.
  Your tracing/debugging tool seems really great, but unfortunately at
  least two of us devs (including me) work on Linux..
  Do you know when a linux release is gonna come out ?

  Thanks in advance,

  Amos Wenger

Hi,

Well, it will happen but not anytime soon. I converted the main 

lib over to Linux(which you can see in the current source) and have
just replaced the GUI stuff with wxWidgets.

However, progress is a bit slow at the moment as I am try to do 

some funky things for GLIntercept 1.0.
So once again, it will happen, just not “soon”.

(I would suggets trying Bugle, but I see you are already trying 

it out from your forum post)

- Thanks,
Damian Trebilco

Hi,

Could I suggest to you to release 1.0 both for Linux and Windows ? You do
as you want of course,
of rather as you can. But I always find annoying when Linux versions are
delayed by several weeks/months.

Anyway, thanks for you great work.

I tried Bugle, but I do have an installation problem for now…

I’m currently explorating the possibilities of debugging included in JOGL
(https://jogl.dev.java.net/)

Well if you do REALLY want the Linux version with the 1.0 release, how about giving me a hand?

I don’t need help with coding, just mostly with configuration and setup. (makefiles, distribution packing etc)
Also a email sent weekly or so to nag at me to get it done (or weekly progress update) would help.
(as if I know there is someone waiting on it, I code faster and am less likely to slack off).

If you want to help, my main email is .
Thanks,

So in a nutshell he just want to be sure that some guys are really waiting on his work for Linux. I think if GLInterceptor for Linux comes out we’ll use it… right, Qudus ?

I think I’ll provide him some help on testing its tool under Linux and possibly with makefiles/other config stuff as he mentioned in his mail.

Anyone wanting to do the same can PM me so I can send him GLInterceptor creator’s mail address.
