dist: OpenVR output not working on Linux #45

Open JulianGro opened 5 years ago

JulianGro commented 5 years ago

OpenVR video output does not seem to work under Linux Mint 19. SteamVR doesn't show anything being send to it. I am using an Oculus Rift with OpenHMD and the OpenHMD-SteamVR bridge at the moment. (which works in other apps)

As there is currently no VR video player for linux whatsoever, I would be glad to help with any testing.

SteamVR on Linux is still in experimental state as far as I can see, and there is no OpenVR package in standard Ubuntu repositories. For this reason, sView is built without OpenVR support on Linux.

It should be possible building sView with OpenVR by enabling ST_HAVE_OPENVR flag and providing OpenVR library to linker flags, though I cannot say if it will work from the scratch - technically, it is expected to work without modifications, as OpenVR is expected to be defined in platform-independent way.
