Nixpkgs: Nix-installed Wine 5.0 fails to initialize OpenGL

[dukc]

Describe the bug
I have installed Wine normally via nix-env, from the unstable nixpkgs, in non-NixOS Linux. It works, but if I try to run anything that uses a graphical processor, I get this: 0009:err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems. Many programs do still run, but they're unacceptably slow unless they are very old.

To Reproduce

1. nix-env -i wine or nix-env -iA nixpkgs.wineWowPackages.stable (tested with both)
2. Copy or install some Windows program that uses the GPU to your wineprefix. Does not matter if the prefix is 32 or 64-bit. I use Heroes of Might and Magic IV as example here.
3. cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Heroes IV
4. wine heroes4.exe

Expected behavior
Program would run much faster, and no complains about OpenGL.

Additional context
OpenGL works otherwise. Also nix-installed Battle for Wesnoth (nix-env -i wesnoth) does not have problems. I'd guess Wesnoth uses OpenGL (I know it uses SDL). Even with Wine 5.0, OpenGL did work previously when Wine was installed with the system package manager.

I have tried installing and using NixGL. No change in behaviour. glxinfo outputs:

I don't know if this is related, but many Nix programs, including ones I mentioned, complain about fontconfig here's the full terminal output from Heroes IV:

There are some known problems with OpenGL on non-nixos (e.g. #9415)

Thanks, but there's got to be something else too. I verified by installing OpenArena. It did not function out of the box, but worked when invokedwith the nixGLIntel workaround suggested at the issue you mentioned. However, nixGLIntel wine heroes4.exe makes no difference to wine heroes4.exe, even after quitting WineServer and restarting it by nixGLIntel wineserver -f first.

So OpenGL in Nix, per se, seems to work for me. Could it be X11 issue instead?

@dukc
Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question.

@veprbl this might well be due to missing 32-bit OpenGL libraries. On NixOS you would solve this by setting hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit to true, but I'm unsure how to do this with nixGL.

[guibou]

(nixGL author here). I had never tested nixGL with 32 bit binaries. Could you open a bug in the nixGL bugtracker, I'll have a look at it.

I actually opened the ticket myself and already found a solution. I'll try to push a fix today.

[guibou]

@dukc Could you test the latest master of nixGL, hopefully it will work for you. I did not tested it with wine however, just a 32bit linux executable with opengl.

I see that not only have you added 32-bit overloads, you also have made NixGL easier to use (as its one-phase install now). Excellent job -and Wine works like clock now.

Thanks everybody for the help.
