AngleHosting Test

This project demonstrates how to use Angle, a library for adapting OpenGL to DirectX graphics calls, across a number of different Windows project types.

Before you can build / run this project, you will need Angle binaries! As of right now, you’ll need to build Angle yourself (don’t worry, it’s easy, you just need to run a single script and wait a bit).

If you just want to grab pre-compiled binaries.. let me know, I’ll publish some :-) In the meantime, you’ll need to build your own.

Building my fork of Angle from source

Make sure you have VS2019 installed including

Debugging tools for Windows,
Desktop developmenet with c++
the C++/WinRT extension
the Windows 10 Standalone SDK version 10.0.17134

Follow the instructions here to install Depot Tools
Assuming you have cloned this repo, start a command prompt in the root
Switch to scripts dir cd scripts
Run the uber-script to fetch and build Angle getandbuild.bat

If you get this as I did on one machine..

.. do this python -m pip install pywin32

.. and you should be good.

If all of the above machinery succeeded, you should see a folder call dependencies with heads, libs and binaries for Angle. If so, go ahead and open the main AngleHosting solution and you should be able to build and run either the Win32 or UWP version.

Make sure you switch to x64 debug. Still todo to make this build in other configurations.
