Why does axmol needs libGLESv2.dll libEGL.dll on windows desktop? isn't it using OpenGL directly ?

Why there are libEGL.dll libGLESv2.dll d3dcompiler_47.dll
on windows dyployment ?
Isn't the engine using OpenGL directly ? what is the mimum OpenGL version the engine using ?

The libGLESv2.dll and libEGL.dll is built from https://github.com/google/angle, not mandatory, only when you specific -DAX_USE_COMPAT_GL=TRUE to generate native project with cmake, refer to https://github.com/axys1/axys/blob/dev/CMakeOptions.md

Tnx , ok i did one more expirement :
run this :

axys new -d c:\dev\my\cpp\axys_projects -l cpp  isoTest2

this time i run this cmake command :

cmake -B build_x64 -A x64 "-DAX_PREBUILT_DIR=build_x64 -DAX_ENABLE_MSEDGE_WEBVIEW2=FALSE -DAX_USE_COMPAT_GL=FALSE -DAX_ENABLE_EXT_SPINE=FALSE -DAX_ENABLE_EXT_COCOSTUDIO=FALSE"

result : what do i miss ?

Do you use latest commit?

[meiry]

@halx99
yes :

when i debug the initiation of the project i can see it is using the latest installed in my pc

but when i delete the dlls it all works fine ... so i guess the cmake copy the unnecessary dll

[halx99]

Seems your command line iincorrect

[halx99]

Yes, shoud fixed by a61a54c

@halx99 tnx ,
What about : -DAX_ENABLE_MSEDGE_WEBVIEW2=FALSE
i dont expect to see WebView2Loader.dll while i set it to not use the webview

[halx99]

The latest commit will check AX_ENABLE_MSEDGE_WEBVIEW2 in all cmake files, but you needs manually delete WebView2Loader.dll if your previous build without -DAX_ENABLE_MSEDGE_WEBVIEW2=FALSE
