Hello, Just one question about thread safety: The openGL crash I am struggling with seems related to threading:
Ahhhh, you fell again in the (in)famous multi-threaded D3D applications :-)
Alas, for now, this is an unsolved issue for which no clear plan is put in place. So I guess it would be best to choose another game to do your DDraw => WineD3D port as neither DDraw not WineD3D support (yet) these kind of applications.
It fairly easy to make things thread safe and support multiple devices per thread, very roughly you have to:
Add the OpenGL context to the device structure. Make a per-device critical section. Whenever a call is made enter the critical section Then check that the current active context is the same as the context on the device. If not then make the device context active.
I wanted to finish state management before making things threadsafe and support multiple devices per thread.
