[Bug 5955] DirectDrawCreate crash on non-OpenGL desktop

------- Additional Comments From J.Nicolaisen(a)gmx.net  2007-21-03 12:16 -------
Just installed wine 0.9.31 to my Gentoo system. The opengl USE flag is unset, so
wine was compiled without OpenGL support.

I opened Regedit and set

HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer = gdi (still no winecfg option?)

Upon starting vanilla Starcraft, I get this error:

err:ddraw:DDRAW_Create Couldn't load WineD3D - OpenGL libs not present?
> From Starcraft I get a neat little message to the extent of, "Starcraft couldn't

It doesn't do that, and just exits instead (same behaviour with and without the
registry key.)

Expected behaviour:

1) Compiling with OpenGL support should be optional

2) wine should fall back to plain X rendering if no OpenGL available (ie if the
check returns negative.)

I can check with Baldur's Gate too, if you want.

Stefan, I'm willing to help; tell me what you need.
