OpenGL

Post by boxino »

I would like to use a program that uses OpenGL, it is called edificius with win10 as a guest machine, with a virtual machine. When I install it warns me of problems and in fact it does not work. I use Linux as my main operating system and i have Sk graphic NVidia. Mission impossible :?:
See you!

Moved to "Windows Guests".

What version of OpenGL are you referring to? Windows has a native OpenGL 1.1 API. Installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions (inside the Guest as the name implies) extends this to OpenGL 2.1. For now that is the highest level of OpenGL support.

The way it works is that VirtualBox implements the guest graphics APIs by making calls to the host OpenGL API. Of course this means that you need decent OpenGL graphics drivers for your host too.

Long shot, but try to install mesa3d.org on the guest. This will emulate later versions of OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, OpenCL, and more! Looks like up to OpenGL ES 3.2 in the latest version.
