Anyone doing Wings dev under VMWare ?
That's how I have been doing plugin dev and tinkerings for last 5 6 years. But all of the sudden with more to WxWidgets ... I feel like I'm in a VICE and stuck.
Basic problem is with OpenGL, mouse drags, wxWdigets, etc. SLOW ... sluggish interactions.
ESDL/SDL/Older OpenGL req was fine under VMWare ....
WxWidgets/newer OpenGL requires are not fund under my VMWare.
It might be that VMWare player is way too old. I'm using VMWare player 6.0 ... pretty sure they are trying to depricate that nad get folks onto paying solutions like a VMWare workstation offering.
I get into VMWare guest image with is a Windows 7 dev environment set up for Wings ... and I can barely rotate a wing shape. Very sluggish. All is fine if I build and release to the bare-metal host machine and try there.
I could probably be convinced to try something newer like VirtualBOX or some other virtualization offering. But I'd like to try finishing some baby steps first ... like baby stepping my dev environment to be more like Dans or Micheus' ... and do that for the compilers , OTP versions, etc. Just getting closer to having an official build environment.
Having to RELEASE to do Black-Box testing is just killing me man.
I could install all dev tools on my host machine ... but really didn't want to have to go there.
HELP ! Ideas needed.
