Running the hello tutorial project

[alexefu73]

Hi,
I have installed irrlicht 1.8 on my Deepin 15.11 and installed all the OpenGL packages I need to compile the hello tutorial program.
I compiled like this:

Code: Select all

 
g++-6 hello_world.cpp -I/usr/include/irrlicht -lIrrlicht
 

It's good, it has compiled successfully.
But when I run the output app it's open a window that closed instantly, and output the following message:

Code: Select all

 
Irrlicht Engine version 1.8.4
Linux 4.15.0-30deepin-generic #31 SMP Fri Nov 30 04:29:02 UTC 2018 x86_64
Using plain X visual
This driver is not available in Linux. Try OpenGL or Software renderer.
Segmentation fault
 

I attempted to reinstall every thing related to OpenGL; drivers, libraries, utilities. And tried again. Nothing changed, I get the same message.
What is the mistake here and how to resolve this problem.

That sounds like it tries to use D3D? Please check in your hello_world.cpp in createDevice which driver you are passing there.

This the code to create the device:

Code: Select all

 
// start up the engine
    IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D8,
        core::dimension2d<u32>(640,480));
 

Indeed, you are write. But what could I use instead?

Thank you very much I resolve it like this.

Code: Select all

 
 
// start up the engine
    IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(video::EDT_OPENGL,
        core::dimension2d<u32>(640,480));
