Any good GL debug tool working under Linux ?

[Amos Wenger]

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 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 <censored--nospam>.
Thanks,
- Damian Trebilco

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.
