This may +not be necessary if you build SDL with CMake instead of the included Visual +Studio solution. + +Details are here: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5186 + + +## OpenGL ES 2.x support + +SDL has support for OpenGL ES 2.x under Windows via two alternative +implementations. + +The most straightforward method consists in running your app in a system with +a graphic card paired with a relatively recent (as of November of 2013) driver +which supports the WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. Vendors known +to ship said extension on Windows currently include nVidia and Intel. + +The other method involves using the +[ANGLE library](https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/). If an OpenGL ES 2.x +context is requested and no WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension is +found, SDL will try to load the libEGL.dll library provided by ANGLE. + +To obtain the ANGLE binaries, you can either compile from source from +https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle or copy the relevant binaries +from a recent Chrome/Chromium install for Windows. The files you need are: + +- libEGL.dll +- libGLESv2.dll +- d3dcompiler_46.dll (supports Windows Vista or later, better shader + compiler) *or* d3dcompiler_43.dll (supports Windows XP or later) + +If you compile ANGLE from source, you can configure it so it does not need the +d3dcompiler_* DLL at all (for details on this, see their documentation). +However, by default SDL will try to preload the d3dcompiler_46.dll to +comply with ANGLE's requirements. If you wish SDL to preload +d3dcompiler_43.dll (to support Windows XP) or to skip this step at all, you +can use the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WIN_D3DCOMPILER hint (see SDL_hints.h for more +details). + +Known Bugs: + +- SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval is currently a no op when using ANGLE. It appears + that there's a bug in the library which prevents the window contents from + refreshing if this is set to anything other than the default value. + +## Vulkan Surface Support + +Support for creating Vulkan surfaces is configured on by default. To disable +it change the value of `SDL_VIDEO_VULKAN` to 0 in `SDL_config_windows.h`. You +must install the [Vulkan SDK](https://www.lunarg.com/vulkan-sdk/) in order to +use Vulkan graphics in your application. + -- cgit v1.2.3
