Juce8 Direct2D WINE/yabridge

I found that falling back to the software renderer as described in the other thread by matt enables juce8 binaries to run and display under wine.

Direct2D Causes Considerable Performance Drop

Question - based on your previous posts, you obviously have have a lot of experience with OpenGL & Vulkan. For DX11 & DX12, you have to handle unexpected adapter removal. I’ve been playing with Metal and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent. How do you handle that in OpenGL and Vulkan? Say, for instance, you unplug an external GPU, or the device restarts. Matt

It’s possible to detect whether the code is running under wine using:

bool _runningUnderWine() {
	auto hntdll = GetModuleHandleA("ntdll.dll");
	if (!hntdll) return false;

	auto pwine_get_version = GetProcAddress(hntdll, "wine_get_version");
	return (pwine_get_version != nullptr);
}

That way d2d can be disabled only when running under Wine.
