DXVK
DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9/10/11 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine.
Requirements
- Vulkan capable GPU
- Driver supported by DXVK (With AMD, you can check which driver is used by running lspci -k. If it says that the driver in use is radeon, your system will not be able to use DXVK.)
Installation
Quick start
To include both 64-bit and 32-bit bindings:
root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk ABI_X86: 64 32' >> /etc/portage/package.use/dxvk
root #emerge --ask app-emulation/dxvkUSE flags
USE flags for app-emulation/dxvk Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 for Linux / Wine
+d3d10
|
Enable support for DirectX 10 (d3d10.dll) |
+d3d11
|
Enable support for DirectX 11 (d3d11.dll) |
+d3d8
|
Enable support for DirectX 8 (d3d8.dll) |
+d3d9
|
Enable support for DirectX 9 (d3d9.dll) |
+dxgi
|
Enable support for the DirectX Graphics Infrastructure (dxgi.dll) |
+strip
|
Allow symbol stripping to be performed by the ebuild for special files |
crossdev-mingw
|
Use sys-devel/crossdev for the toolchain rather than dev-util/mingw64-toolchain (requires manual setting up) |
debug
|
Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces |
Using crossdev toolchain
To use toolchains compiled with sys-devel/crossdev rather than dev-util/mingw64-toolchain, they have to be set up like this:
It is recommended to create an ebuild repository by following this section in the Crossdev article.
Make sure that mingw64-runtime does not have the
tools useflag enabled when bootstrapping. See bug #644556.user $for toolchain in cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross-i686-w64-mingw32; do
crossdev --stable --libc ">=8.0.0" --target ${toolchain}
crossdev --stable --libc ">=8.0.0" --lenv 'USE="libraries"' \
--genv 'EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-threads=posix"' \
--init-target --target ${toolchain}
sed "s|-libraries ||" -i /etc/portage/package.use/${toolchain}
emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime
emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/gcc
doneAdd --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 to EXTRA_ECONF for cross-i686-w64-mingw32/gcc (but not for cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32/gcc) for improved performance.[1][2]
If crossdev generation of the target toolchain should fail, ensure that USE="libraries" is enabled on ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime by simply prefixing the relevant emerge command with env USE="libraries", mirroring the application of the USE flag to libc via crossdev's lenv argument.
Revert edits to /etc/portage/env/mingw-gcc.conf, /etc/portage/package.env/mingw, and /etc/portage/package.use/mingw before retrying, or toolchain generation will fail due to the --enable-threads flag.
Configuration
Lutris
Link the folder containing x32 and x64 to a subdirectory of ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk.
user $mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk
user $ln -s /usr/lib/dxvk ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/system
To use the newly installed DXVK, configure the Wine runner in the Lutris GUI, show advanced options, and enter the subdirectory name (system in this case) as DXVK version.
Wine
It is recommended to create the ~/.wine-32 or ~/.wine-64 directories for different architectures.
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-64 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink
user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-32 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink
