Wings3D running in VirtualBox [Linux]

[micheus]

Installing in a real machine and in a virtual machine can bring some trouble/differences - and it's an important information.

Quote:On Ubuntu I need to install Erlang, which I did from their website instructions I used the wings-2.2.5-linux.bzip2.run file
It might be worth mentioning that on the website, the errors in console doesn't really suggest you need to install Erlang

As far as I know, you don't need that.
Erland dependencies is packed on Wings3D install. You find elr it under ~/wings-2.2.5/bin
So, if you were to start it from the command line, being the prompt into the wings folder you should be able to run it like this:
~/wings-2.2.5$ ./bin/erl -pa ./lib/wings-2.2.5/ebin -run wings_start start_halt

I already tried to make Wings3D works in a VirtualBox recently, but I got not success - I always get an {error,no_gl_context,50752}
Although the OpenGL required by Wings3D seems to be available: OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 19.2.8

So, in order to be able to test Linux issues I need to prepare a real one.


About your tries to Raspbian...
Did you try to install the Wings3D version provided in the Debian repository: https://packages.debian.org/sid/wings3d
