-Wrapper DLLs to trace D3D8 and D3D9 APIs calls.
-Based on the idea and code (public domain) from Michael Koch.
+= About =
-See also:

-* http://doc.51windows.net/Directx9_SDK/?url=/directx9_sdk/graphics/programmingguide/TutorialsAndSamplesAndToolsAndTips/Tools/D3DSpy.htm
+This includes a set of tools for:
+- trace OpenGL, D3D8, and D3D9 APIs calls to a file;
+- retrace OpenGL calls from a file;
+- visualize trace files, and inspect state.
= Status =
-* Only Direct3D 8 supported at the moment.
+* It has not been tested with many applications. Bugs in less used features may
+ cause application crashes.
+* Direct3D 8 support is currently broken.
+* No Direct3D retrace support
+
+
+= Building from source =
+
+Requirements common for all platforms:
+* Python (requires version 2.6)
+* CMake (tested with version 2.8)
+
+Requirements to build the GUI (optional):
+* Qt (tested with version 4.7)
+* QJSON (tested with version 0.7.1)
-= Build =
+== Linux ==
-* Install SCons and DirectX SDK.
-* Run:
- scons
+Build as:
+
+ cmake -H. -Bbuild
+ make -C build
+
+
+== Windows ==
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Microsoft Visual Studio (tested with 2008 version) or MinGW (tested with gcc version 4.4)
+
+* Microsoft DirectX SDK (tested with August 2007 release)
+
+To build with Visual Studio invoke CMake as:
+
+ cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -H. -Bbuild
+ cmake --build build --config MinSizeRel
+
+It's also possible to build on Linux with MinGW cross compilers. See
+http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CmakeMingw for detailed instructions.
= Usage =
-* Copy d3d8.dll, d3dtrace.xsl, d3dtrace.css to the directory with the application you want to trace.
+
+== Linux ==
+
+* Run the application you want to trace as
+
+ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/glxtrace.so /path/to/application
+
+* View the trace with
+
+ /path/to/dump application.trace
+
+* Replay the trace with
+
+ /path/to/glretrace application.trace
+
+
+== Windows ==
+
+* Copy opengl32.dll, d3d8.dll, or d3d9.dll from build/wrappers directory to the
+ directory with the application you want to trace.
+
* Run the application.
-* Open the output XML file with Firefox or Internet Explorer.
-* For long XML files is better to use the d3dtrace-txt.xsl stylesheet together with a dedicated XSL processor like xsltproc, or msxsl.
+* View the trace with
+
+ /path/to/dump application.trace
+
+* Replay the trace with
+
+ /path/to/glretrace application.trace
