OS specific, window creation #222

Closed llagardeOSE closed 1 year ago

llagardeOSE commented 1 year ago

We will use a DiligentEngine installation as a third-party. I mean our code uses only the result of "make install". This way I do not see how to initialize the windowing system (creating a window) without writing some X11/Win32 code. I am looking for a way to do:

GraphicsTraits traits = ...
traits.width  = 800;
traits.height = 600;
NativeWindow window = WindowingInterface->CreateWindow(traits);

In order to feed the engine factory with the created window:

IEngineFactoryVk *engineFactory = ...
engineFactory->CreateSwapChainVk(_pDevice, _pImmediateContext, SCDesc, window, &_pSwapChain);

I guess I will use SDL or GLFW as another third-party.

Yes, native application framework is currently not installed. It is expected that the app will include this project in its build system.
